A professional or co-living HMO refurbishment creates a higher-specification shared home: ensuite bedrooms, well-designed shared kitchens and lounges, good sound insulation, and finishes aimed at working tenants. In Llandudno, a town of about 15,000 people in Conwy, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Llandudno?
Professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Llandudno must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.

Questions about professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Llandudno
Do kitchenettes in rooms change the fire requirements?
Often, yes. Cooking in bedrooms usually means a heat detector in the room and a higher standard of fire separation. We plan it with the fire risk assessment and council standards.
Do you cover all of Llandudno?
Yes. We work across Llandudno and the LL30 postcode areas, plus the rest of Conwy. Nearby places we also cover include Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Bangor (Gwynedd).
Where do I check the HMO rules for an address in Llandudno?
With the local council for the address. Welsh councils set their own HMO standards and may run additional licensing. In Wales, changing a house to a C4 HMO always needs planning permission, so check planning first.
