HMO property sourcing in Acocks Green

A shared house in Acocks Green has to work for the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We look at all three before we agree terms.

Terms for management, tenant-find or guaranteed rent are agreed in writing for each property before you instruct us.

HMO rules in Birmingham City Council

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

Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Acocks Green into a small HMO needs planning permission. We check this before an offer is made, not after. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Birmingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 4 June 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.
