I am converting my first house into a HMO. It is a 3 bed, 2 reception, 2 bath house in London… soon to be a 5 bed HMO.
My plan is to add ensuites to the two front bedrooms.
You make a valid point on the 2 non-ensuite bedrooms both being less desireable if I was to make the upstairs an ensuite. I think the best configuration will be to leave as is.
Thanks for the update on council thinking regarding HMOs and separate dwellings for generating more revenue by applying Band A council tax. Something to defintely keep an eye on.
Thanks Vanessa, i really appreciate your advice here. Thanks for steering me to the BMV Bombshell thread, very informative, and the 7 simple steps. And thanks especially for your offer of assistance, I would be more than happy to contact you for advice!... Read More
I do have B2L and thankfully I haven't had any major hassles, although the property is in London. I do understand what you are saying but I figure this is where letting agents come into their own. I'm not going into this with my eyes closed, I am taking the time to research and learn as much as I can. I know it won't always be smooth sailing, it will be challenging and I am sure a few mistakes along the way. Travelling on Saturdays is not the problem, it is not being local to snap up the deals before they go. I am rethinking location at the moment.... Read More
