Our Work
Buildings we have tested for developers: the question asked, the analysis run, and the answer given.
Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
A town-centre house tested for a large HMO. The scheme reached nine generously sized en-suite rooms while staying ahead of the refusal patterns seen locally.
Harpenden, Hertfordshire
A 1990s police station in a conservation area, wrapped in policy protections and a restrictive covenant. We mapped the planning route before sketching the flats.
King's Lynn, Norfolk
One building, two viable futures. We drew both the conventional residential option and the nine-bed co-living option so the client could compare returns directly.
Compton, Newbury
A rural office building tested against three different sketch schemes, landing on a terrace of four three-bed houses and one two-bed unit.
Winchester, Hampshire
A listed building on Southgate Street tested for a ten-bed co-living scheme above a retained shop, with private and shared gardens worked into the plan.
Manchester, Greater Manchester
An existing Manchester HMO tested for reconfiguration, checking whether the current layout was leaving room count or room quality on the table.
Croydon, South London
A four-storey period house already running as a six-bed HMO, tested for more than double the room count using internal works only.
Luton, Bedfordshire
A mid-terrace house tested for a seven-bed HMO, delivered in two stages so the riskiest room is argued from the strongest position.
Cheshunt, Hertfordshire
Pre-purchase feasibility testing the conversion of a detached family home into a six-bedroom, all en-suite HMO, with the garage brought into the house.
A two-bed semi tested for a six-bed HMO that needs no planning permission at all, with a five-bed fallback drawn for the loft risk.
A feasibility that told the client not to do what they asked for, then found a route that needs no planning permission at all.
Cheddar, Somerset
A closed high-street bank going to auction, tested for a mixed-use scheme that keeps the shopfront working and puts eleven en-suite rooms above it.
