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

Questions about ensuite installation in Brighouse
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.
Which postcodes in Brighouse do you work in?
All of them, including HD6 and HX3, and the surrounding parts of West Yorkshire.
Does a shared house in Brighouse need an HMO licence?
In England, a mandatory licence is needed for 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Smaller HMOs can need a licence where the council runs additional licensing, which is common in towns with many shared houses. Check the council’s website for the address.
