Questions about HMO kitchen and bathroom in Whitchurch

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.

Does a converted HMO in Whitchurch 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. Shropshire Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.

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

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

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.
