2 → 3 lettable rooms
Potential, not guaranteed (subject to planning + regs). Estimate from the floorplan (kitchen size assumed) — verify room sizes against the floorplan before offering.
How we calculated this
floorplan shows 4 habitable rooms (2 beds + 2 reception(s)); convert 1 spare room(s) to bedrooms, keeping one reception as the lounge → up to 3 lettable rooms; sized to the England statutory minimum (6.51/10.22 m², SI 2018/616); council local standard not curated — may be higher, verify; loft conversion may add 1-2 further rooms (subject to head height/planning — not counted)
Pro members see the floorplan with every convertible room outlined in green. Verify room sizes before offering.
2 → 3 bed HMO+1 single
⚠Sized to the England statutory minimum (6.51/10.22 m²) — the council may set higher; verify
Projections use documented assumptions (local room rates, typical conversion costs, 75% LTV at 5.5%, indicative regional valuation yields) and each council’s published HMO standards. Not financial advice. Verify room sizes, licensing and planning with the council and a surveyor before purchase.
