Which rules apply in Putney?
Here is what usually applies to a Putney job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
- Smoke alarms on every storey with living accommodation and CO alarms by fixed combustion appliances (other than gas cookers) are required by law.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
