An HMO extension adds space to a shared house, usually a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite or a bigger communal kitchen. Loughborough is 9 miles north of Leicester. We price extensions for extra rooms there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. With students as well as working sharers renting in Loughborough, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Loughborough?
Extensions for extra rooms in Loughborough must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- 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.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
