Design Consultation Call

IS THE HMO YOU HAVE IN MIND FEASIBLE?

Talk To An Expert To Explore The Feasibility of your Project

We're Here To Answer Your Questions

Our expert team can take care of the full HMO development journey for you, from concept to planning & building control, to construction. HMO Architect offers many services such as HMO design appraisal, concept drawings and interior design to the highest quality to suit your needs and ideas.

Converting your property into an HMO requires an excellent understanding of the local regulation. This is because you must ensure you are correctly managing your risk.

A successful HMO development takes into account the impact of three main sets of rules:

Planning Regulation
Building Regulation
HMO Licensing regulation

If only one of the above is not followed correctly there is the danger that your HMO will not be rentable or mortgageable by the time you complete the renovation works.

For this reason, getting expert advice at the early stages of your project is crucial to avoid costly mistakes down the line.

During our HMO Design Consultation Call, you will benefit from our vast experience in the HMO sector and get key insights that will allow you to reduce the risks related to your project.

Some of the questions we will answer during our call include:

Should I convert my property into an HMO?
How do I start an HMO?
Do I need permission to change my property into an HMO?
What are the requirements for an HMO?
What is the minimum room size for an HMO?
How many bedrooms can I fit into my property?
How much will it cost to convert my property into an HMO?
How long will it take to convert my property into an HMO?
How to get planning permission for my property?
What to submit in a full planning application?

Hear From our clients

Very professional team and great architectural designs for my HMO. They also helped me get planning permission in a very difficult council keeping me updated throughout the process. Loved working with Ryan, Giovanni and the team. Highly recommend them for any architecture work across the country especially HMO and flat conversions.

Excellent joined up advice from the Directors giving you comfort as a landlord that you’re in very capable hands .

I was very impressed with Giovanni at WindsorPatania he was friendly and help explain the project to me in a way I could understand. Being a first time investor I really felt he was more like a partner in my team then an architect.

Exceptional service at all stages of the process from Windsor&Patania. They created a vision of a beautiful home from an under-developed heritage property. They led us through a tricky planning and renovation process with care and attention to detail. And then they followed up with quality assurance and spotting as the project was implemented. And they did all of that with a smile and approachability that you can’t find elsewhere. Strongly recommend for anyone looking to build real quality into their project!

Fantastic company, since using these guys I won’t go anywhere else. They have really helped me maximise my returns from my property investments without compromising the layout or aesthetics of the buildings. Highly recommend.

Fantastic team, really helpful and great communication! I had a challenging project that another architects could not solve but the team at HMO were able to redesign and get planning approved in 6 months from start. I also appreciated that the directors have been investing themselves. Thanks again, highly recommend the team! James

Excellent architectural practice; honest, informative and creative advice by a team of hardworking, qualified professionals!
