Our HMO conversion service in Lincolnshire

Our HMO conversion work in Lincolnshire starts with a measured survey and a check of the planning and licensing rules that apply to the street. We design the room layout, shared facilities and escape route around those rules, then price the agreed specification in an itemised written quote.

Two houses in Lincolnshire that look alike from outside can give different room counts once the kitchen, stairs and bathrooms are measured. We give you a realistic number early, then build across Lincolnshire with our own team and vetted subcontractors under a single contract.

  • Bedroom layout designed to national and council size standards
  • Measured survey of every room and shared space
  • Planning use class and Article 4 check for the address
  • Building control application and sign-off where required
  • Certificates, floor plans and photos handed over for licensing

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

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

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