An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. For a house in Uxbridge we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. With students as well as working sharers renting in Uxbridge, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Uxbridge?
Here is what usually applies to a Uxbridge job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- 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.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- A conversion can be a material change of use under the building regulations, so confirm with building control before work starts.
- BS 7671, the wiring standard, calls for arc fault detection devices in HMOs on new socket circuits, such as rewires and consumer unit changes.
