From an address to a decision, in four steps
Plotworthy turns the scattered public record — planning, EPC, Land Registry, HMO licensing — into one answer: what could this property become, and does it stack up?
1. Search the address
Type any UK address. We match it against our data set — planning history, Article 4 directions, EPC, tenure and the licensed HMO register within 100m.
Example properties return live seeded data; other addresses return a clearly-labelled representative report until the data pipeline covers them.
2. Read the feasibility report
Planning history with decisions and reasons, permitted development rights, the HMO saturation calculation against the council's cap, and change-of-use routes with nearby precedents.
Every measured figure carries its source and the date it was captured. Estimates are badged as estimates.
3. Model the income and ROI
Switch between HMO, flat conversion (C3) and C2 supported living. Edit rents, voids, running costs, finance and conversion cost per unit and watch net income, ROI and payback recompute live.
The calculator is free and always will be — the formula sits under every output so you can check our working.
4. Connect with local pros
Each report ends with verified architects, builders and planning consultants covering that postcode. Request a quote and the enquiry lands in their dashboard.
Pros pay to be listed. Investors never pay to make an introduction.
All figures, planning interpretations and saturation checks shown by Plotworthy are illustrative estimates based on sample and third-party data. They are not financial, investment, legal or planning advice. Always verify with the local planning authority and a qualified professional before committing to a purchase or scheme.
