Our work in Worcestershire ranges from single conversions for first-time landlords to multi-house programmes for investors, all priced in writing before work starts.

We plan each HMO loft conversion job in Worcestershire around the local council's amenity standards, which set out kitchen, bathroom and room-size requirements for shared houses.

Loft conversions for HMOs in Worcestershire: what we do

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

Headroom survey and countable floor area calculation
Alarm extended and doors upgraded on lower floors
Planning and permitted development position checked first
Updated floor plans for the licence file
New staircase and protected escape route

What landlords in Worcestershire ask us

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether the local 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.

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

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

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.

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Worcestershire?

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.
