ST DAVIDS HMO, EXETER

We’re thrilled to introduce our latest achievement at A&K Property Solutions. The complete transformation of our St Davids HMO maisonette. Once a 4-bedroom, 1-bathroom property in average condition, this home has been reimagined as a high-end, 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom HMO, now compliant and ready for student tenants in the 2025 academic cycle.

This was far from a straightforward renovation! From removing chimney breasts and replacing rotten joists to installing a modern heating system and ensuring full HMO licensing compliance, we tackled each unique challenge with dedication.

Even a 15-year-old honey bee colony made an appearance, adding to the memorable nature of the project. With nothing in the building quite square or straight, every step brought new lessons and valuable experience.

Our focus has been on creating a home that combines visual appeal with functionality. Each bedroom and the lounge now feature designated study areas, storage has been maximised throughout, and the light, contemporary design adds warmth and elegance to the space.

ST DAVIDS FLAT, EXETER

St Davids Commercial to Residential Conversion. What was once a commercial shop space, never designed for residential living, has been meticulously reimagined into a stunning high-end two-bedroom, one-bathroom flat, complete with a private courtyard. Ready for student tenants in the 2025 academic cycle, this project stands as one of our most challenging yet rewarding developments to date.

Upon commencing work, we uncovered significant structural issues hidden beneath the old shop’s facade. Addressing these challenges required extensive remedial work, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the building. With expert craftsmanship and detailed planning, we overcame these hurdles to create a modern and inviting home that seamlessly blends style and functionality.

The conversion features handcrafted and built-in furniture throughout, maximising both storage and aesthetic appeal. Each bedroom and the lounge area boast dedicated study zones, making it an ideal residence for students seeking both style and productivity. The contemporary design, complemented by warm tones and elegant finishes, fosters an inviting atmosphere that truly feels like home.

The private courtyard adds an extra dimension of tranquillity, providing an outdoor retreat perfect for relaxation or socialising. Every detail, from lighting to layout, has been carefully considered ensuring that this conversion not only meets but exceeds modern living expectations.
