Which rules apply in Tonypandy?
EPC and energy upgrades in Tonypandy must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Rented homes must meet at least EPC E. Whether the planned EPC C standard will apply in Wales has not yet been confirmed.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp and mould, under the HHSRS, alongside the fitness for human habitation rules for occupation contracts.
- Building regulations cover structural work, partitions, drainage, fire-resisting construction and electrics; confirm with building control whether the conversion is a material change of use.
