In Cheadle Hulme, a town of about 29,000 people in Greater Manchester, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
