An HMO in Skegness has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
We can keep a photographic record of each stage, which is useful evidence when the council inspects or a buyer's surveyor asks questions later.

Large HMO conversions for Skegness landlords
For larger houses and buildings in Skegness, 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 Skegness and across Lincolnshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
- Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
- Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
- Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
- Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
- Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
