Which rules apply in Blackheath?
Here is what usually applies to a Blackheath job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp, mould and fire, under the HHSRS; revised regulations and guidance applied from 23 June 2026.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
