HMO - Houses of Multiple Occupation
HMO Licensing Plans
SquareFoot provides specialised floor plans specifically engineered for HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) license applications. These surveys are scale drawings and detail electrical installations and fire regulations.
An HMO license is mandatory for any rental property that serves as the primary residence for three or more residents from different families. To secure approval, local councils require professional floor plans to verify that the property meets strict spatial and safety criteria.
For specific requirements, we recommend consulting your local city council's website.

Why RICS accuracy matters
In todays real estate industry, a floor plan is more than just a visual aid; it is a foundational, legal and financial document. Adhering to the RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) compliance standards ensure that every square foot is accounted for with precision and transparency. Inaccurate measurements can lead to significant valuation errors, stalled negotiations, or even legal disputes post-sale.
By utilizing RICS compliant standards, we provide buyers and sellers with the absolute "Gold Standard" of spatial data—fostering trust, ensuring regulatory compliance, and providing a reliable basis for calculating market value and rental yields. In an industry where space is the ultimate commodity, precision is not just a preference; it is a professional necessity. A few examples below.
