Landlords in Malvern deal with Malvern Hills District Council for licensing, planning and housing standards. We keep those three in view together, so a layout that suits the licence also works for planning and building control.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 35 miles from Malvern. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Large HMO conversions for Malvern landlords

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

What landlords in Malvern ask us

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Malvern?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Malvern Hills District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Malvern?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Does a converted HMO in Malvern 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. Malvern Hills District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Malvern?

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.
