What to know locally
- Selly Oak and Bournbrook have one of the city's largest student rental markets around the University of Birmingham, so many homes are HMOs.
- Under the EPC reforms, an HMO let room by room will need one EPC for the whole house, then must meet E now and C by 2030. Birmingham's additional licensing already covers HMOs with 3 or 4 occupiers.
- Much of Bournville is looked after by the Bournville Village Trust and is a conservation area, so external changes such as wall insulation or windows may need approval.
