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

Sandwell Council's cabinet approved an immediate borough-wide Article 4 direction on 14 October 2026. We could not confirm whether it has been made, so we check with the council before any change of use. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. Sandwell Council also runs additional licensing across its whole area (until 30 September 2029), so smaller HMOs with three or four people from two or more households need a licence too.

Questions about HMO void refurbishment in Rowley Regis

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.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Rowley Regis?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Sandwell 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 Rowley Regis 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.

Does a converted HMO in Rowley Regis 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. Sandwell Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
