5 Bed Social Housing HMO conversion

Project:

A 3-bedroom terraced property ideally suited for conversion into a 5 bedroom house of multiple occupancy (HMO) in Wigan.

The Registered Provider (RP) has expressed interest in this property, and it has passed their postcode checks.

Located close to the centre of town, with an abundance of local amenities and facilities, a short distance to the train station and motorway networks providing access to Preston, Manchester and beyond, Wigan is well located.

The property is perfectly positioned for access into the town, is in close proximity to many local, national and global employers, and benefits from a variety of local recreation spots including local golf courses, parks and forests.

The property has been recently refurbished, with the kitchen and flooring in good condition. However, carpets are needed throughout the house, and further work is required to bring it up to standard, particularly for HMO use.

  1. Flooring
    Install carpets in all rooms to complete the refurbishment.
  2. Heating and Glazing
    Confirm functionality and safety of the gas central heating system.
    Ensure the 20mm double glazing is intact and meets insulation standards.
  3. Garage
    Clear out the garage of all items to prepare it for potential future use.
  4. Garden
    Conduct a thorough garden tidy-up, ensuring the area is presentable and low-maintenance.
  5. Electrics
    Upgrade and certify electrical wiring to meet HMO standards, aligning with an EPC rating of at least D.
  6. Internal Doors
    Replace or install fire-rated internal doors to comply with HMO fire safety regulations.
    Ensure door casings are secure and meet required specifications.
  7. Structural Work
    o Ground Floor:
    Install a 4m stud walls to divide the current lounge and create bedrooms 4 and 5, with an ensuite bathroom.
    Extending the kitchen to the left side.
    o First Floor:
    Divide existing rooms to create bedrooms sized at least 7m² each.
    Add a second bathroom to accommodate HMO requirements for Wigan Council.
