Large HMO conversions for Ludlow landlords

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

Questions about large HMO conversion in Ludlow

Do I need planning permission to convert a house to an HMO in Ludlow?

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Shropshire Council has an Article 4 direction covering the address. Seven or more occupants always needs planning permission. We check the position for your street before quoting.

Do you supply fire doors and alarms as part of a conversion?

Yes. Fire doors, the alarm system and emergency lighting are specified to the fire risk of the house and included in the price, not added later.

Can you convert part of a building above a shop in Ludlow?

Often, yes. Flats above shops need extra attention to fire separation from the commercial unit, and we assess this at survey stage.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Ludlow?

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. Shropshire Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
