HMO licence applications in Castle Bromwich

Castle Bromwich sits within Solihull Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.

We cover B36 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Castle Bromwich as anywhere else in the West Midlands.
