HMO floor planner — questions
- Is the HMO Floor Planner free?
- Yes — it's completely free. Pop in your email, tick the consent box and it unlocks straight away. No payment and no software to install.
- Does it check HMO room sizes?
- Yes. Set how many people sleep in each bedroom and it checks the room against the statutory England minimums live — 6.51 m² for one person over 10, 10.22 m² for two — colour-coded green, amber or red.
- Do I need to install anything?
- No. The planner runs entirely in your web browser. Your work auto-saves on your own machine and you can export a .hmo project file to reopen later.
- Can I turn an estate agent's floor plan into a layout?
- Yes. Import the agent's JPG or PNG, calibrate the scale to one known wall, then trace the rooms over it — or use Auto-build to read the room sizes from the image and lay them out for you.
- Can I export a PDF for a licensing application?
- Yes. Export a tidy PDF with a floor plan of each storey, a room schedule with HMO pass/caution status, build checks and costs — ready to attach to a licensing application or share with a lender.
