Void and turnaround refurbishment in Cannock: common questions

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Cannock?

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. Cannock Chase District Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Cannock?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

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

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.

Does a converted HMO in Cannock 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. Cannock Chase District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
