Loft conversions for HMOs for Sleaford landlords

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