An HMO loft conversion adds one or two letting rooms, often with an ensuite, in the roof space. Grimsby is 30 miles north-east of Lincoln. We price loft conversions 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. Grimsby has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Grimsby?
Here is what usually applies to a Grimsby 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.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
