For HMO conversions

HMO conversions, from appraisal to licence

An HMO conversion is a development project wearing a lettings hat: planning, building works, licensing and compliance dates, all with a deadline attached to a mortgage.

What makes HMOs harder

  • Planning, licensing and building control run on different clocks.
  • Room-by-room specification changes the appraisal as you go.
  • Compliance dates arrive after everyone has moved on to the next project.
  • The refinance depends on a valuation nobody prepared evidence for.

What it does for you

Deal

Appraise the conversion properly, with the room count and the works cost behind the number.

Deliver

Planning, works, contractors and costs tracked against the appraisal.

Hold or exit

Licensing, compliance dates and performance held against the property.

How it works

  1. 1Appraise the conversion.
  2. 2Run planning and any Article 4 considerations.
  3. 3Deliver the works with costs against budget.
  4. 4Complete licensing and compliance.
  5. 5Refinance or hold with a full evidence trail.

Compliance that does not depend on a reminder

Licensing and compliance dates sit on the property record rather than in one person's calendar, so they survive the handover to whoever manages it next.

The appraisal stays honest

Every cost recorded during the works is measured against the number that justified the purchase.

Where it is not the right tool

BRICKS is not a tenancy management or rent collection system. It handles the project and the asset, not the day-to-day lettings.

What it costs

One subscription, everything included, with a 14-day free trial and no card needed to look around the demo first. See BRICKS.

Common questions

Does it handle Article 4 areas?

Planning work sits on the property record, including the local considerations you have to deal with. The planning judgement is yours.
