Change of use from single dwellinghouse to HMO
Obtaining planning permission for a change of use from a single dwellinghouse to an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) in Bexley, London, can be complex. Engaging a professional planning firm like 4D Planning is crucial to navigate these challenges. They provide expertise in ensuring compliance with local planning regulations and presenting a strong application, which significantly increases the chances of approval.
Owning an HMO offers several benefits. For landlords, it generates higher rental income compared to single-family homes. HMOs are particularly attractive to low-income earners, such as students and working professionals, who prefer shared accommodation due to affordability and social aspects. With increasing demand for shared living, particularly in urban areas like Bexley, HMOs offer a stable investment opportunity. By working with a specialist like 4D Planning, property owners can maximize the potential of their HMO project while staying compliant with regulations.
