Most of the cost and risk in an HMO is decided at the design stage. In Grantham we start by measuring every room and checking South Kesteven District Council's position on licensing and planning, then build the specification around it.

Because we also manage and maintain HMOs, we design with day-to-day running in mind: hard-wearing finishes, sensible storage and layouts that keep shared spaces usable.
