An HMO in Melton Mowbray has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.

Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.

Communal kitchens and bathrooms in Melton Mowbray: what we do

What landlords in Melton Mowbray ask us

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Melton Mowbray?

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.

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.

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.

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.
