A house to HMO conversion turns a single-family home into a house in multiple occupation: a shared home for unrelated people with private bedrooms and shared kitchen or bathroom space. In Beverley, a town of about 31,000 people in East Riding of Yorkshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Beverley?

- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
- Licensed HMOs must meet national minimum bedroom sizes: 6.51 m² for one person aged 10 or over, 10.22 m² for two, and 4.64 m² for a child under 10.

We build to the standards your council publishes and give you the certificates and drawings an inspection asks for. The licence decision belongs to the licensing authority, so we never promise approval, but we design to meet the written standards from day one.
Which postcodes in Beverley do you work in?
All of them, including HU17, and the surrounding parts of East Riding of Yorkshire.
Does a shared house in Beverley need an HMO licence?
