Turnkey HMO projects in Solihull: 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.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Solihull?

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.

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 Solihull?

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