Which rules apply in Prestwich?
The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Prestwich before we price.
- 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.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.

Questions about loft conversions for extra rooms in Prestwich
Does adding a loft room change the HMO planning position?
It can. Going from six to seven sharers moves a house into a large HMO in England, which normally needs planning permission. We check before design.
Which postcodes in Prestwich do you work in?
All of them, including M7, M25, M27 and M45, and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester.
Does a shared house in Prestwich 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.
