Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Louth we start by measuring every room and checking East Lindsey District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.

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.

Our HMO loft conversion service in Louth

Plenty of houses have roof space that could hold extra bedrooms, but in Louth 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 Louth house, not just the new floor. We also check the occupant count, because seven or more residents needs planning permission anywhere in Lincolnshire.

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

It depends on the size of the house and the work involved. Your written quote includes a programme for each stage, and any planning or licensing time is shown separately.

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Louth?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether East Lindsey District Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.
