In Banstead, a town of around 45,000 people in Surrey, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Banstead?
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 Banstead before we price.
- Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
- 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.
- 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.
