HMO conversions in Melton Mowbray: common questions

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Melton Mowbray?

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

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Melton Borough 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.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Melton Mowbray?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Does a converted HMO in Melton Mowbray need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Melton Borough Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
