Eight years. ~10 HMOs per year. Across Portsmouth, Southampton, Winchester, and the wider Hampshire region. We have navigated every Article 4 boundary, every licensing scheme, every fire safety inspection this county has to offer. We are not generalists who occasionally do HMOs. This is our core expertise.

We review your property against Article 4 boundaries, current council licensing requirements, and planning constraints. We tell you everything upfront — including any potential obstacles — before money changes hands.

OUr Architect Works with you to Ensure compliance

HMO conversions involve structural changes, fire safety installations, plumbing, electrics, and finishing — across multiple rooms and floors simultaneously. We price every element and every trade before we begin. Your budget is protected from day one.

Detailed Quotes That Hold

Every week your HMO sits unfinished is income you're not receiving. We maintain continuous presence on your project — no disappearing to other jobs, no weeks of silence. Our schedule is our commitment and we protect your timeline the way we'd protect our own.

We Stay On Site Until It's Done

Premium tenants — young professionals, key workers, postgraduate students — choose HMOs based on quality of finish. An interior-designed property with high-spec kitchens, contemporary bathrooms, and well-specified rooms commands 20–30% higher rents than a basic conversion and reduces void periods substantially.

Finished To A Standard That Attracts Better Tenants

From Property to
Licensed HMO.

A clear, managed process with no hidden steps and no surprises. This is how every Aztec HMO conversion runs.

  • We review your property against Article 4 boundaries, current council licensing requirements, and planning constraints. We tell you everything upfront — including any potential obstacles — before money changes hands.

  • We produce a room-by-room specification: structural changes, fire safety installations, plumbing, electrics, insulation, and finish standard. Every line of the quote is explained and justified. No vague line items. No surprises at invoice.

  • Structural alterations, room reconfigurations, and all fire safety infrastructure — FD30 doors, alarm systems, emergency lighting — are installed to the standard required for licensing. This is where most builders get it wrong.

  • All first-fix trades — Gas Safe plumbers, Part P electricians, insulation and ventilation specialists — are coordinated by us. Every tradesperson is vetted, insured, and experienced at HMO specification level.

  • This is where the premium becomes visible. Kitchen installation, bathroom tiling, flooring, bespoke joinery, decorating, and lighting — all to an interior-designed standard. The finish that attracts professional tenants and commands above-market rents.

  • On handover day, your property is clean, complete, and ready for the council licensing inspection. All compliance documentation is in order.
