Questions about turnkey HMO in Lichfield

Can you work with my own architect or lender?

Yes. We can work to another designer's drawings or provide the cost information a lender's surveyor asks for.

Is Lichfield a good place for an HMO?

It depends on the street, the house and Lichfield District Council's rules rather than the town alone. We appraise individual properties against planning, licensing and room-count tests before giving a view.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Lichfield?

Where an Article 4 direction applies, turning a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission, which can be refused. We check whether the address is affected before you rely on any figures.

Do you give financial or investment advice?

No. We provide property, planning, licensing and building information. For finance, tax and investment decisions, speak to a regulated adviser.
