Questions about HMO conversion in Shirebrook

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Shirebrook?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

How long does an HMO conversion in Shirebrook take?

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Shirebrook?

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. Bolsover District Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Shirebrook?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Bolsover District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.
