HMO projects in Castle Bromwich are shaped by the rules of Solihull Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.

Work is carried out by S&K and vetted subcontractors working under S&K's supervision, so you contract with one company for the whole project.

Our large HMO conversion service in Castle Bromwich

For larger houses and buildings in Castle Bromwich, 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 Castle Bromwich and across the West Midlands where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.

  • Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
  • Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
  • Floor-by-floor build programme with building control inspections
  • Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
  • Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
