Checked October 2026 against Dudley Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Dudley Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Kingswinford into a small HMO needs planning permission. We prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether Dudley Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.

How we handle large HMO conversion work in Kingswinford

For larger houses and buildings in Kingswinford, 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 Kingswinford 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
• Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
• Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
• Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
