In Hornchurch, a town of about 25,000 people in Greater London, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp, mould and fire, under the HHSRS; revised regulations and guidance applied from 23 June 2026.
