090 - Building Regs vs HMO Regs - The HMO Conversion Trap


Listen Later

You can do everything "right", get Building Control sign-off, and still hit a brick wall when you go to licence the HMO.

In this episode, Martin breaks down the gap between Building Regulations and HMO standards, and explains why assuming that they are the same can lead to expensive rework, delays, and a property that won't licence the way you expected.

What you'll discover in this episode:

➡️ Why two different people look at the same house differently

➡️ The key areas where there are different requirements

➡️ Why you can't always trust your Architect

➡️ How to avoid slipping into the gap between the requirements

If you're converting a house to an HMO, or even just running the numbers on a potential deal, this one could save you a lot of stress.

Listen now, and make sure your conversion is licenceable, not just Building Regulation compliant.
