6 → 9 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 10 habitable rooms (6 beds + 4 reception(s)) in 222 m²; convert 3 spare room(s) to bedrooms, keeping one reception as the lounge → up to 9 lettable rooms; sized to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole adopted standard (6.51/10.22 m²; BCP Amenity Standards for Houses in Multiple Occupation (H89/May24)); large HMO (7+ residents) is sui generis — planning permission required; mandatory HMO licence (5+ persons, England)
Pro members see the floorplan with every convertible room outlined in green. Verify room sizes before offering.
6 → 9 bed HMO+3 singles
HMO licence7+ = planning required
✓Sized to Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole's adopted HMO standards
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.
