Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Stirchley 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 Stirchley: common questions

What rents do HMO rooms achieve in Stirchley?

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

Can you find HMO properties for me in Stirchley?

Yes. We look for houses whose layout, planning position and licensing requirements suit HMO use, and share the checks we've done on each one.

How do Article 4 directions affect HMO investment in Stirchley?

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 charge for an HMO appraisal in Stirchley?

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