Questions about HMO refurbishment in Oswestry

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Oswestry?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Does a converted HMO in Oswestry need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Shropshire Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Oswestry?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Shropshire Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.
