What landlords in Halesowen ask us

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Halesowen?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

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

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.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Halesowen?

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. Dudley Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

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

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