Questions about professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Radcliffe

Often, yes. Cooking in bedrooms usually means a heat detector in the room and a higher standard of fire separation. We plan it with the fire risk assessment and council standards.

Yes. We work across Radcliffe and the BL9, M26 and M45 postcode areas, plus the rest of Greater Manchester. Nearby places we also cover include Whitefield, Prestwich, Bury.
Does a shared house in Radcliffe need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
