Matlock sits within Derbyshire Dales District Council, which sets its own HMO standards for room sizes, kitchens and bathrooms. Our designs start from those standards, so the layout we price is designed to meet the council's licensing requirements.

Our team is based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 43 miles from Matlock. That keeps survey visits, site meetings and follow-up inspections easy to arrange.

Questions about HMO void refurbishment in Matlock

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.

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

It depends on the number of occupants and whether Derbyshire Dales 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.

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

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

Does a converted HMO in Matlock need a licence?

Yes if five or more people from two or more households will live there, because mandatory licensing applies in every council in England. Derbyshire Dales District Council may also license smaller HMOs, which we check for the address.
