HMOs in Acocks Green are licensed and regulated by Birmingham City Council. Before we manage, lease or appraise a house, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 9 miles from Acocks Green, which keeps inspections and property visits easy to arrange.

Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Acocks Green into a small HMO needs planning permission. Before we take a house on, we check it has the planning status it needs. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Birmingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 4 June 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
