Very helpful!

After speaking with several other architects it was clear who would be able to solve our projects issues, not long after appointing the team at HMO Architects, they were able to gain planning with a very contentious project and help us select the right build team and supervise the construction site.

Stress-Free Planning for Every Project

Planning doesn’t have to be a headache. Whether it’s HMOs, serviced accommodation, flats, or family homes, our specialists handle every step, ensuring your application checks all the right boxes. From early assessments to final approval, we take care of the paperwork, council dealings, and technical drawings. You focus on growing your property portfolio—we’ll handle the rest.

Planning Made Simple

At HMO Architects, we handle every step of the planning process for HMOs, serviced accommodation, flats, and family homes. Here’s how we make it happen:

Pre-Planning Consultation
We start by reviewing your property or concept, identifying obstacles, and aligning your plans with local council requirements. Early prep avoids delays and sets the stage for a smooth process.

Full Planning Applications
We take the reins—architectural drawings, planning statements, paperwork, and council communication. Whether converting a family home into an HMO or tackling a larger development, we’ve got it covered.

Permitted Development
Some projects skip full planning permission. If yours qualifies, we’ll fast-track it under permitted development rights, saving you time and money.

Green Belt and Agricultural Land
Tough regulations? No problem. We know how to navigate planning on green belt and agricultural land, unlocking opportunities others miss.

Conversions (HMOs, Flats, Hotels)
Property conversions require precision. We make your plans meet local rules on room sizes, parking, and safety for HMOs, flats, or boutique hotels.

Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas
Balancing heritage value with modern functionality is tricky—but not for us. We handle the red tape so you can move forward with confidence.

With HMO Architects, planning is seamless. Let us handle the details while you focus on your investment.

Nice people who deliver quality work!

Initial contact was very reassuring in the professionality and quality that they can deliver. Even during the whole process I had the feeling that I was involved and well informed at regular intervals. To sum it up, just some nice people who deliver quality work.
