HMO refurbishment in Uppingham: common questions

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

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.

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

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

Do you handle building regulations for conversions in Uppingham?

Yes. An HMO conversion often involves building regulations work such as fire protection, new partitions and drainage, and we arrange approval and inspections with local authority building control or a registered building control approver.

Does a converted HMO in Uppingham 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. Rutland County Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
