HMO Conversions in London

HMO Conversions services across West and North West London, subject to the agreed scope.

HMO Conversions

D-Core Construction specialises in converting standard residential properties into Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) across West London and North West London. We manage the full conversion — from structural alterations and fire-safety upgrades to en-suite installations and communal area finishing — so you can generate strong rental returns from a single property.

An HMO conversion is one of the highest-yielding property strategies available in London. Done correctly, a standard 3-bedroom house can yield the equivalent rental income of five or more individual lets. We work alongside planning consultants and HMO licensing specialists to help you navigate the requirements for your local borough.

Every HMO conversion we undertake is built to the current HMO licensing standards — including minimum room sizes, fire door specifications, mains-wired smoke alarms, emergency lighting, and adequate kitchen and bathroom ratios. We aim for compliance from day one to protect your licence and your investment.

Structural partitioning and stud wall construction
En-suite shower room installations per bedroom

Our Process

1

Planning & Licensing Guidance

We advise on Article 4 Directions in your borough, planning permission requirements (change of use from C3 to C4 or Sui Generis), and HMO licence application. We can refer you to trusted planning consultants.

2

Design & Layout

We assess your property and propose the optimal room layout — maximising the number of lettable bedrooms while meeting minimum room-size requirements (currently 6.51m² for a single occupant).

3

Construction

Structural partitioning, en-suite plumbing, electrical rewiring, fire doors, alarm systems, insulation — all completed in sequence to minimise downtime.

4

Snagging & Handover

We inspect every room against HMO standards, fix any snagging items, and hand over a fully decorated, licence-ready property.
