An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Landlords in Norwich (NR1, NR2 and NR3) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have. With students as well as working sharers renting in Norwich, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Norwich?
Here is what usually applies to a Norwich 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.
- 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.

Can an ensuite go anywhere?
It needs a route for waste water. Gravity drainage is best; where that is not possible, a macerator or pump can work. We check at the survey.

All of them, including NR1, NR2 and NR3, and the surrounding parts of Norfolk.
Which council covers HMOs in Norwich?
