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

Sandwell Council's cabinet approved an immediate borough-wide Article 4 direction on 14 October 2026. We could not confirm whether it has been made, so we check with the council before any change of use. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Sandwell Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 30 September 2029), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

HMO property sourcing in Rowley Regis: common questions

Can you find HMO properties for me in Rowley Regis?

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.

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.

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Rowley Regis?

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

Is Rowley Regis a good place for an HMO?

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