Walsall Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Aldridge 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. Walsall Council's additional licensing covers nine wards, including Palfrey, Paddock, Pleck, St Matthew's, Blakenall, Birchills Leamore, Darlaston South and Willenhall South, which doesn't include Aldridge, so the mandatory licence for five or more people is the main one to plan for there.

Questions about HMO property sourcing in Aldridge

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.

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Aldridge?

Room rents vary by street, standard and season, so we check current comparable lets for the property rather than quote a town-wide figure.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Aldridge?

Where an Article 4 direction applies, turning a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission, which can be refused. We check whether the address is affected before you rely on any figures.

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.
