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

Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Aston into a small HMO needs planning permission. We check this before an offer is made, not after. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Birmingham City Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 4 June 2028), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

Turnkey HMO projects in Aston: what we do

Our turnkey HMO projects in Aston run under one contract from purchase support to first tenants. Each starts with checks for the address, including the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards, so the design reflects the rules that apply in the West Midlands.

Owners in Aston keep control of the purchase and finance decisions throughout, with a written summary and a decision point at the end of each stage. Build costs are quoted after a survey, and council fees for planning, licensing and building control are paid separately.

Turnkey HMO projects in Aston: common questions

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.

Is Aston a good place for an HMO?

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

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Aston?

Room rents vary by street, standard and season, so we check current comparable lets for the property rather than quote a town-wide figure.

Will you manage the house after the conversion?

Yes. Our turnkey service can run from purchase support through design, build and licensing to letting and management.
