KEY INFORMATION
This residential to HMO conversion was sourced on the open market which resulted in some competition and a comparably higher purchase price. With it being an end-terrace property so being wider than our other projects, it sitting in a great location and the numbers still meeting our criteria, we were happy to agree to a purchase price of £168k.




THE PLAN
Using our repeatable model this was another back to brick residential to HMO conversion allowing the property to go from 2 up 2 down to 5 ensuite bedrooms with communal kitchen/dining/living area. The property was completely emptied leaving the four walls and roof. The floors were then added with 2.3m ceiling heights rather than 2.7m. This along with a dormer conversion at the rear created enough room for a 2nd floor.
Once we had that, it was a matter of adding the stud work to achieve the desired layout. A kitchen / diner / communal area and bedroom 1 on the ground floor, 2 bedrooms on the 1st floor and 2 bedrooms on the 2nd floor.
