An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. In Lincoln, a place of roughly 100,000 people, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards. Lincoln has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Lincoln?
Here is what usually applies to a Lincoln 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.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- Building regulations cover structural changes, new partitions, ensuite drainage, fire-resisting construction and notifiable electrical work.
- 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.
