MTR Developments builds extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments across Selly Oak and B29. We are based in Bromsgrove, a short drive away, so we are close by for every visit.
Paul, who runs MTR, has 24 years of building experience. We take on one or two builds at a time and keep the same team on site throughout.
Selly Oak housing changes street by street. Selly Park is mostly detached and semi detached houses because old covenants limited each block to two joined homes. Bournbrook, just to the west, is dense Victorian terracing from around 1890, much of it let to students. Each needs a different approach to extending and converting.
Rear dormer lofts, often L shaped over the back addition, and side return kitchen extensions.
Larger rear and side extensions, two storey extensions and hip to gable lofts.
Between tenancies we turn houses around with new kitchens, bathrooms, rewires and redecoration.
Removing chimney breasts and walls, and fitting steels to open up the ground floor.
Birmingham has a citywide Article 4 direction on houses in multiple occupation. Turning a family house into a small HMO now needs planning permission, so if you are a landlord planning to add bedrooms, talk to us early and we will point you to the right route.
For owner occupiers, most rear extensions and many loft conversions in B29 fall within permitted development. We confirm it at the free survey and handle building regulations either way.
Yes. We refurbish rented houses between tenancies and work to a tight programme so the house is not empty for long.
Usually, yes. A rear dormer on a Victorian terrace often fits a double bedroom and a shower room. We will measure the head height at the survey.
