Co-living HMO refurbs in Basingstoke

For a house in Basingstoke we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Basingstoke?

The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Basingstoke before we price.

Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
Licensed HMOs must meet national minimum bedroom sizes: 6.51 m² for one person aged 10 or over, 10.22 m² for two, and 4.64 m² for a child under 10.
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.
