Property already secured
We don't source. Property in hand first: then bring the secured deal to us for the build.
HMO conversions across Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Cheshire, where the scheme is viable and planning is in place. Each one documented and filmed. Planning through and drawings in hand? That's where we come in.
What an HMO conversion looks like
An HMO is a single property let to three or more unrelated people forming more than one household. Planning requirements for HMOs vary by area and change over time; your architect confirms what applies to the property before you commit.
Every conversion we deliver follows the same operating standard. Pre-purchase walk-throughs with a builder's-eye view, planning route mapped by your architect. Scope and price agreed before work starts, with any variations flagged, priced and agreed as they arise. Fire compartmentation, sound proofing, kitchen and en-suite spec: photographed as it goes in.
Every build has a project manager on it, with John behind it as owner and vetted subcontractors on every trade.
Who this is for
The HMO market has changed. Lazy spec doesn't let and cheap fire-stopping fails inspection. The investors we build for are planning for the next decade, not the last one.
We don't source. Property in hand first: then bring the secured deal to us for the build.
We price the build the property needs, not the cheapest version of it. If the numbers only work by cutting corners, we're not the contractor.
Property in Staffordshire, Cheshire or the near Midlands.
If you want to do the minimum legally allowed, we're not the contractor for you. We build for the next inspection, not the current one.
The honest filter
If you fall outside these: we'll tell you on the first call. We'll refer you to a contractor we trust. No hard feelings, no hard sell.
How it runs
Every HMO conversion we deliver runs on the same six-phase HYPE Build Standard: your architect's scheme priced at phase 02, compartmentation built and photographed at phase 04, snagging and handover at phase 06.
Your architect confirms the planning route and the layout: we price it before you commit.
Your architect designs the layout and handles planning. Fire strategy comes from your fire consultant or assessor. We build to it.
Compartmentation built and photographed room by room as it goes in.
Snagging walked with you, with the photographs of the work as it went in.
Same six-phase operating standard as every HYPE build.
See the full schematicFor the right build only
We take on substantial building work across Stoke-on-Trent and the Midlands: extensions, conversions, full refurbishments, commercial works and repairs after fire, flood or damage. Properly scoped projects, not odd jobs or reactive maintenance.
We're VAT registered, so on smaller jobs a non-VAT builder will always undercut us. That's just the maths. Our work pays off where doing it properly matters more than the cheapest quote.
If that sounds like your project, tell us what you've got. We'll tell you straight whether we're right for it, and if we're not, we'll say so. Either way, we wish you all the best x.
