How we handle HMO loft conversion work in Stourport-on-Severn

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

What landlords in Stourport-on-Severn ask us

How long does an HMO conversion in Stourport-on-Severn take?

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.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Stourport-on-Severn?

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

Can you work on a house I haven't bought yet in Stourport-on-Severn?

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.

Does a converted HMO in Stourport-on-Severn need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Wyre Forest District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
