We'll tell you plainly if a house in Coalville isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Our large HMO conversion service in Coalville
For larger houses and buildings in Coalville, 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 Coalville and across Leicestershire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
- Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
- Floor-by-floor build programme with building control inspections
- Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
- Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
- Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
