Large HMO conversions in Bolsover: what we do

For larger houses and buildings in Bolsover, we assess whether an HMO for seven or more people is realistic before any design money is spent. That means checking local planning policy, the structure, the escape routes and how many kitchens and bathrooms the occupancy would need.

If the scheme works, we prepare the planning drawings, agree the fire strategy with building control and build floor by floor. It suits bigger properties in Bolsover and across Derbyshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
