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 Huddersfield, a place of roughly 150,000 people in West Yorkshire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards. With students as well as working sharers renting in Huddersfield, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Huddersfield?
Here is what usually applies to a Huddersfield job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
- 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.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
