Which rules apply in Bridgwater?
Here is what usually applies to a Bridgwater job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
