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 West Bridgford, a town of about 36,000 people in Nottinghamshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in West Bridgford?
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 West Bridgford 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.
- 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.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
