Large HMO conversions in Bewdley: what we do

For larger houses and buildings in Bewdley, 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 Bewdley and across Worcestershire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.

Questions about large HMO conversion in Bewdley

Does a converted HMO in Bewdley need a licence?

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

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Bewdley?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Bewdley?

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.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.
