Co-living HMO refurbs in Notting Hill

Landlords in Notting Hill (W2 and W11) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

Which rules apply in Notting Hill?

Here is what usually applies to a Notting Hill job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.

Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
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.
