Which rules apply in Gloucestershire?

Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
Where the building regulations apply to a conversion, Part E sound requirements can apply between rooms and floors.

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.
