Questions about professional and co-living HMO refurbs in Hyde
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.
Which postcodes in Hyde do you work in?
All of them, including SK14, and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester.
Does a shared house in Hyde need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
