How we handle HMO feasibility appraisal work in Nuneaton
Our HMO appraisals in Nuneaton 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 Nuneaton and elsewhere in Warwickshire, 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.
