Landlords in Hall Green deal with Birmingham City Council for licensing, planning and housing standards. We keep those three in view together, so a layout that suits the licence also works for planning and building control.

Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Checked October 2026 against Birmingham City Council's HMO licensing page. Schemes change, so we confirm the position for your address before any work starts.

Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction across its whole area, so turning a family house in Hall Green into a small HMO needs planning permission. We prepare the planning application before any conversion work starts. 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.

Void and turnaround refurbishment in Hall Green: common questions

Does a converted HMO in Hall Green 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. Birmingham City Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Hall Green?

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

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Hall Green?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Birmingham City Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

How long does an HMO conversion in Hall Green 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.
