Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Coalville we start by measuring every room and checking North West Leicestershire District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.
We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.
