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. Shropshire Council may set additional standards, which we design to.

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.

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Ludlow?

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 Ludlow?

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