Questions about professional and co-living HMO refurbs in County Tyrone

Is co-living treated differently from an HMO?

If unrelated people share facilities, it is normally an HMO, whatever it is called. Larger schemes can also raise planning questions.

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 carry out professional and co-living HMO refurbs across County Tyrone?

Yes, across the whole of County Tyrone, including Omagh, Strabane.

Who licenses HMOs in County Tyrone?

HMO licensing in County Tyrone, as everywhere in Northern Ireland, is run by the NI HMO Unit at Belfast City Council. Planning and building control are handled by the local council.
