Accommodation FAQs
What are the fire safety requirements for HMOs?
HMOs require an LD1 fire alarm system (detection in every room), fire doors with intumescent strips and cold smoke seals, protected escape routes, emergency lighting, and fire-rated compartmentation between units. Requirements vary by property size and licensing category.
How many rooms can I get from my property?
This depends on the building's floor area and layout. We can carry out a feasibility study including room count analysis, planning check, and outline cost estimate before you commit to a project. We maximise rooms while ensuring every unit meets minimum room size standards.
Do you handle HMO licence applications?
We build to HMO licensing standards and can provide the technical documentation needed for your application. We recommend working with a specialist HMO licensing consultant who can manage the application process alongside our construction work.
Can you convert commercial buildings into apartments?
Yes. We regularly convert offices, shops, and industrial units into residential accommodation. Many commercial-to-residential conversions benefit from Permitted Development rights (Class MA), which can avoid the need for full planning permission.
