An HMO in Wombourne has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Wombourne isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Checked October 2026 against South Staffordshire Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.
We couldn't confirm South Staffordshire Council's Article 4 position from its own website, so we check it with the council for the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether South Staffordshire Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
Large HMO conversions in Wombourne: what we do
For larger houses and buildings in Wombourne, 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 Wombourne and across Staffordshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
- Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
- Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
- Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
- Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
- Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
