Large HMO conversions in Droitwich Spa: what we do

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

  • Fire strategy agreed with building control at the start
  • Handover file prepared for the mandatory licence
  • Kitchens and bathrooms sized to council amenity standards
  • Planning drawings and room schedule for the application
  • Feasibility check of the building, layout and planning policy
