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.

What landlords in Tipton ask us

Is Tipton 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.

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Tipton?

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

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Tipton?

Talk to us about the property first. We'll explain what an appraisal involves for that house before you commit to anything.

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.
