Landlords in Codsall deal with South Staffordshire Council for licensing, planning and housing standards. We keep those three in view together, so a layout that suits the licence also works for planning and building control.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Codsall isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Checked October 2026 against South Staffordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm South Staffordshire Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether South Staffordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO refurbishment for Codsall landlords
We refurbish existing HMOs in Codsall that have fallen behind current standards, whether the prompt is a licence renewal, a council inspection or rooms that have become hard to let. The survey splits the work into safety, licence and optional items so the priorities are clear.
Where rooms in a Codsall house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Staffordshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
