Sutton Coldfield has plenty of larger family homes. Many have the space to work well as shared houses. We carry out HMO conversions in Sutton Coldfield that make the most of that space.
Planning here needs care. The area falls under a city-wide Article 4 direction. So most new HMOs need full planning permission. Our HMO conversion specialists in Sutton Coldfield handle the application, the design and the build.
