Malvern Hills District Council is the licensing and planning authority for Malvern. We check its rules for the exact street before we draw a single partition.
Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 35 miles from Malvern. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Checked October 2026 against Malvern Hills District Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm Malvern Hills District 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 Malvern Hills District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO refurbishment for Malvern landlords
We refurbish existing HMOs in Malvern 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 Malvern house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Worcestershire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
- Before and after photos and updated certificates
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
- Fire doors, alarms and escape routes brought up to standard
- Works list split into safety, licence and optional items
