Loft conversions for HMOs for Ashby-de-la-Zouch landlords

Plenty of houses have roof space that could hold extra bedrooms, but in Ashby-de-la-Zouch we always measure the headroom first, because floor under a 1.5 m ceiling does not count towards room size. That tells you how many rooms the loft can really add.

A loft room usually creates a third storey, so we plan the protected escape route and alarm upgrades for the whole Ashby-de-la-Zouch house, not just the new floor. We also check the occupant count, because seven or more residents needs planning permission anywhere in Leicestershire.
