We price fire doors there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
- Mandatory HMO licence for 5 or more people in 2 or more households (since October 2018); councils can add additional licensing for smaller HMOs.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
