An existing house in Eltham was stripped out and reconfigured into a 6-unit HMO aimed at professional sharers. The brief was to maximise lettable rooms without sacrificing the day-to-day living quality that keeps tenants in place — and keeps voids down.
We coordinated the layout, fire strategy, M&E and finishes in-house so the design that hit site is the one we drew. Every room has its own en-suite, with a shared kitchen and living space sized to the licensed occupancy.
Delivered on programme and on budget, with full sign-off from Building Control and the local HMO licensing team.
HMO refurbishment in Eltham (Greenwich)
Eltham sits in a sweet spot for HMO investors: pre-war and inter-war housing stock with generous floor plates, good transport into Central London via the Bexleyheath and Sidcup lines, and tenant demand from healthcare, transport and trades workers serving South-East London and North Kent.
Greenwich Council operates an additional licensing scheme covering most HMO sizes, so layouts have to clear room-size, amenity and fire-strategy thresholds before a viable scheme exists. We design to those thresholds from day one rather than discovering them at licensing stage.
Existing-stock refurbishments like Footscray Road avoid the planning risk of a full change-of-use and typically deliver faster than ground-up. The economics work when the spec is good enough to hold rent and the build is coordinated tightly enough to hold cost.
