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. In Ellesmere Port Town, a town of around 65,000 people in Cheshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

- Licensed HMOs must meet national minimum bedroom sizes: 6.51 m² for one person aged 10 or over, 10.22 m² for two, and 4.64 m² for a child under 10.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.

- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
