Which rules apply in Llandudno?
Fire alarm and detection systems in Llandudno must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Mandatory licence for HMOs with 3 or more storeys and 5 or more people in 2 or more households; Wales did not adopt England’s 2018 change.
- An electrical inspection and test at least every 5 years, with the report given to the contract-holder within 14 days.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
