An HMO in Uppingham has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
We cover LE15 and the neighbouring postcodes, with the same standards in Uppingham as anywhere else in Rutland.

Loft conversions for HMOs in Uppingham: what we do
Plenty of houses have roof space that could hold extra bedrooms, but in Uppingham 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 Uppingham house, not just the new floor. We also check the occupant count, because seven or more residents needs planning permission anywhere in Rutland.
- Planning and permitted development position checked first
- Headroom survey and countable floor area calculation
- New staircase and protected escape route
- Alarm extended and doors upgraded on lower floors
