An HMO extension adds space to a shared house, usually a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite or a bigger communal kitchen. Landlords in Chesterfield (S40, S41, S43 and S49) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

Which rules apply in Chesterfield?
Here is what usually applies to a Chesterfield job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- 7 or more sharers is a sui generis large HMO and normally needs planning permission.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
