Terraced-houses

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do I need planning permission for an HMO Conversion?

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.

How long does an HMO conversion take?

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.

Is it possible to do the HMO conversion while the property is occupied?

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.

What are the new HMO rules in London?

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.

Can I convert my house to a HMO?

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.

Can 2 couples live together without a HMO?

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.

Can neighbours object to a HMO?

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.
