- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- 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.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
