Large HMO conversions for Cannock landlords

For larger houses and buildings in Cannock, we assess whether an HMO for seven or more people is realistic before any design money is spent. That means checking local planning policy, the structure, the escape routes and how many kitchens and bathrooms the occupancy would need.

If the scheme works, we prepare the planning drawings, agree the fire strategy with building control and build floor by floor. It suits bigger properties in Cannock and across Staffordshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Cannock Chase District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.
