Monthly masterminds, weekly updates, and networking with coliving operators worldwide.
The UK has one of the most established routes from office to residential use, which makes it a natural market for conversion-led coliving.
Secondary office stock in regional cities and outer London can convert to coliving where demand for flexible, community-oriented housing is strong and yields beat conventional buy-to-let.
England has permitted development rights that allow certain commercial premises to change to residential use under a prior approval process, alongside the standard full planning route. Coliving and larger schemes often still need full planning and must meet space, light, and HMO licensing standards.
Rules vary by city and change over time. Treat this as a starting point and confirm the current requirements with the relevant local authority before you underwrite a deal.
