In short: An HMO bedroom upgrade refits a letting room so it is more comfortable and easier to let: built-in storage, a proper desk space, better lighting and sockets, sound-reducing doors, durable flooring and fresh decoration. We carry this out across Ceredigion, priced against the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s own standards.

Which rules apply in Ceredigion?
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
Welsh councils set their own HMO standards and may run additional licensing. In Wales, changing a house to a C4 HMO always needs planning permission, so check planning first.
