Large HMO conversions for Sutton-in-Ashfield landlords
For larger houses and buildings in Sutton-in-Ashfield, 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 Sutton-in-Ashfield and across Nottinghamshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
- Floor-by-floor build programme with building control inspections
- Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
