Landlords in Castleford (WF10) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

- 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.
- 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.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
