Full HMO conversion service from planning and building work through to ongoing management.
Converting a property into an HMO can significantly increase your rental yield, but it requires careful planning, compliance with strict regulations, and quality building work throughout. We manage the entire process from planning and licensing through to construction, fitting, and ongoing maintenance and management.
An HMO conversion is one of the most effective ways to increase the return on a residential property, but it is also one of the most regulated. Fire safety, room sizes, facilities ratios, licensing, and planning requirements all need to be met before a single tenant moves in. Getting any of it wrong can mean enforcement action, fines, or having to redo work at significant cost.
We have completed multiple HMO conversions across London and South Wales, managing the full process in-house. That covers everything from the initial planning and licensing advice through to structural works, fire safety installation, kitchen and bathroom fitting, electrical and gas certification, and room fit-out. Because we carry out the building work ourselves, the quality is consistent and the programme is tightly managed.
Once the property is converted and tenanted, we can continue to manage it on your behalf. That includes routine maintenance, compliance certificate renewals, tenant management, and guaranteed rent arrangements if you want the security of a fixed monthly income regardless of occupancy. Most of our clients who come to us for a conversion choose to stay with us for management afterwards.

It depends on the property and location. Properties let to five or more unrelated people typically require planning permission for change of use to a large HMO (C4 or Sui Generis). We assess your specific situation and guide you through any required applications.
Most HMOs with five or more occupants across three or more storeys require a mandatory HMO licence from the local authority. Many councils also operate additional licensing schemes covering smaller HMOs. We handle all licence applications on your behalf.
Timescales depend on the scope of work. A standard three to five bedroom conversion typically takes six to twelve weeks from start to finish, including any planning or licensing periods.
Yes. We offer full ongoing management including maintenance, compliance renewals, rent collection, and guaranteed rent arrangements once the property is tenanted.
