Gas, electrical and alarm certificates in Stourport-on-Severn: common questions

Do I need a licence for a three or four person HMO in Stourport-on-Severn?

Only if Wyre Forest District Council runs an additional licensing scheme covering the address. Mandatory licensing starts at five or more people. We confirm the position with the council for the address.

Can you fix the issues a council inspection found?

Yes. We price the works on the inspection report, carry them out and provide the evidence the council asks for.

How often are electrical checks needed in an HMO?

Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.

How long does an HMO licence last?

A licence can last up to five years. Wyre Forest District Council may grant a shorter licence, for example where it has concerns about the property or the management.
