Questions about HMO void refurbishment in Burntwood

Does a converted HMO in Burntwood need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Lichfield District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Burntwood?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

How long does an HMO conversion in Burntwood take?

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.
