Large HMO conversions for Tettenhall landlords

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