HMO rules for Abingdon
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (not gas cookers).
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS guide is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
- Planning: 3–6 sharers is use class C4, usually permitted development from a family house unless an Article 4 direction applies; 7 or more normally needs permission.
Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
