Which rules apply in Heanor?
The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Heanor before we price.
- 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.
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
