5. HMO Conversion FAQs

A small HMO for 3–6 unrelated occupants (use class C4) can often be created under Permitted Development, unless the council has an Article 4 Direction removing that right. Large HMOs with 7 or more occupants are sui generis and always need planning permission. We check your area before drawing.
