HMO layout reconfiguration changes the internal plan of a shared house so the rooms, kitchens and bathrooms work together: moving or adding walls, splitting oversized rooms, merging undersized ones, or moving the kitchen off the escape route. Landlords in Mansfield (NG17, NG18, NG19 and NG70) 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.
