Here is what usually applies to a Aberdare job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- 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.
