Because we also build and repair HMOs, problems found at an inspection can be priced and fixed by the same team.

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 Kings Heath 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.

Questions about turnkey HMO in Kings Heath

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.

Do you charge for an HMO appraisal in Kings Heath?

Talk to us about the property first. We'll explain what an appraisal involves for that house before you commit to anything.

Is Kings Heath 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.

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.
