Which rules apply in Larkhall?

Rewires and EICR remedials in Larkhall must satisfy national law for Scotland, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:

  • An EICR before the first let and at least every 5 years, with C1 and C2 items fixed, PAT testing of supplied appliances and RCD protection.
  • Every HMO needs a council licence: 3 or more people who are not all from one or two families, sharing basic amenities. Licences last up to 3 years.
  • Landlords must also be on the Scottish landlord register, renewed every 3 years.
