Questions about HMO fire safety in Grantham

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether South Kesteven 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.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Grantham?

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. South Kesteven District Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

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

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