HMO projects in Stamford are shaped by the rules of South Kesteven District Council. Before we price anything, we check whether the address falls within an additional licensing scheme or an Article 4 direction, because both change what the house needs and how long it takes.
You get one point of contact for the whole job, a fixed price for the agreed specification and a written programme showing when each stage happens.

Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We couldn't confirm whether South Kesteven District Council runs additional licensing, so we check with the council for the address.
HMO conversions in Stamford: what we do
Our HMO conversion work in Stamford 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 Stamford 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.
- Certificates, floor plans and photos handed over for licensing
- Bedroom layout designed to national and council size standards
- Measured survey of every room and shared space
- Fire protection and escape route specified to the risk
- Building control application and sign-off where required
