Tunstall sits within Stoke-on-Trent City Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. We check a house against those standards before we let rooms or rely on any figures.

Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

Checked October 2026 against Stoke-on-Trent City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Stoke-on-Trent City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Tunstall into a small HMO needs planning permission. This is an immediate direction that took effect on 23 October 2026 and lapses unless the council confirms it within six months. We check this before an offer is made, not after. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Stoke-on-Trent City Council proposed a citywide additional licensing scheme in August 2026, subject to consultation, so smaller HMOs may need a licence in future.

Questions about HMO property sourcing in Tunstall

Can you work with my own architect or lender?

Yes. We can work to another designer's drawings or provide the cost information a lender's surveyor asks for.

Will you manage the house after the conversion?

Yes. Our turnkey service can run from purchase support through design, build and licensing to letting and management.

Is Tunstall a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Stoke-on-Trent City Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.

Can you find HMO properties for me in Tunstall?

Yes. We look for houses whose layout, planning position and licensing requirements suit HMO use, and share the checks we've done on each one.
