How we handle large HMO conversion work in Sleaford

For larger houses and buildings in Sleaford, 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 Sleaford and across Lincolnshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.

For licensed HMOs in England a room for one adult must be at least 6.51 square metres and a room for two adults at least 10.22 square metres. North Kesteven District Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
