The rules below are the Wales-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Pontypool before we price.
- More than 6 sharers is a sui generis HMO and needs planning permission; councils such as Cardiff apply concentration limits.
- 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.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
