Which rules apply in Woking?
Here is what usually applies to a Woking 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.
- Electrical installations must be inspected and tested at least every 5 years; remedial work is due within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
