Which rules apply in Llandudno?
Here is what usually applies to a Llandudno job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- 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.
- 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.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
