Large HMO conversions for Cheadle landlords

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

  • Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
  • Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
  • Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
  • Floor-by-floor build programme with building control inspections
  • Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy

What landlords in Cheadle ask us

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Staffordshire Moorlands District 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 work on a house I haven't bought yet in Cheadle?

Yes. We can survey before you buy and tell you the likely room count, the planning and licensing position and a guide cost, so you can decide with the facts in front of you.

What size must bedrooms be in an HMO in Cheadle?

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. Staffordshire Moorlands District Council may set additional standards, which we design to.
