Large HMO conversions in Stratford-upon-Avon: what we do
For larger houses and buildings in Stratford-upon-Avon, 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 Stratford-upon-Avon and across Warwickshire where a six-bedroom layout would leave usable space empty.
- Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
- Floor-by-floor build programme with building control inspections
- Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
- Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
- Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
