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 Saltley 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.

What landlords in Saltley ask us

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.

Do you give financial or investment advice?

No. We provide property, planning, licensing and building information. For finance, tax and investment decisions, speak to a regulated adviser.

Can you find HMO properties for me in Saltley?

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.

Is Saltley a good place for an HMO?

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