Our work in Nottinghamshire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.
We plan each HMO feasibility appraisal job in Nottinghamshire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

HMO feasibility appraisals in Nottinghamshire: what we do
Our HMO appraisals in Nottinghamshire start with the address: we check the local council's licensing schemes, any Article 4 direction and its amenity standards for kitchens and bathrooms, then measure each room against the national minimum sizes to find the likely room count.
For houses in Nottinghamshire, the appraisal also covers the planning route, building regulations and fire implications, a guide build cost range and the main risks. It is property information, not a valuation or financial advice.
