At Ace Design and Build, our HMO conversion specialists take care of everything, from planning and designing to building and legal checks, so that you can get a fully approved, high-earning rental property without the hassle.
Types of property suitable for HMO Conversion
It’s time to upgrade your home with expertly designed home conversion that not only maximise the functionality but also increase the worth of your property in the market. Modify your home with the high quality craftsmanship and innovation to enhance your comfort and style with Paramountbuilt. This is how we assist our valuable clients:
Terraced houses
Terraced homes often offer the right layout and size for multiple bedrooms, making them a budget-friendly option for small to mid-sized HMO conversions.
Semi-detached homes
For more space and easier access for extensions, semi-detached houses are ideal for creating extra bedrooms, en-suites, or shared living areas in an HMO.
Detached properties
A perfect option for large scale HMOs as it allows more design freedom, and typically avoids noise complaints due to distance from the neighbouring properties.
Flats above shops
Often, underused flats above commercial units can be turned into compact HMOs, especially in busy urban areas with strong rental demands from working professionals.
Large family homes
Older family houses with multiple rooms and generous floor plans are ideal for conversion into spacious and comfortable houses for multiple occupations.
Commercial to residential conversions
Converting old offices or retail spaces into residential HMO units is becoming more common, offering investors great flexibility and often bypassing full planning permission.

FAQ’S
If you intend to convert the property into a large HMO (accommodating seven or more occupants) or in zones with an Article 4 Direction, you might need planning permission for an HMO conversion. Article 4 areas have more restrictions – check with your local council.
The typical period to complete an HMO conversion is between 8 to 12 weeks, although it may vary according to the property’s size, amount of work, and other planning or licensing approvals needed. Good organisation could streamline the process.
Yes, it is feasible to do the HMO conversion while the property is occupied, but the process can be quite disruptive to tenants. Detailed strategies and well-defined timelines of the work to be done can aid in reducing disturbance to tenants.
By April of 2024, there has been an increase in responsibilities with HMO licensing. Now, not only immediate managers of the property, but also superior landlords will take on these responsibilities. Moreover, there have been new borough-wide additional licensing schemes in certain areas like Tower Hamlets and Enfield. These additional schemes apply to smaller HMOs that were previously unregulated.
There are specific legal, safety, and space guidelines that you need to follow if you wish to convert a property to an HMO. You may also need to obtain a planning permission or a licence.
Two sets of couples can stay together as long as the property is marked as a single dwelling. HMOs are only applicable after a minimum of three non-relational tenants occupy the property.
Yes, during the planning application stage, neighbours have the right to contest a HMO, especially if it pertains to a change of use. Typical concerns include excessive noise, increased automobile traffic, and overdevelopment.
