Which rules apply in Enniskillen?
Here is what usually applies to a Enniskillen job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the NI HMO standards and licence conditions have the final detail.
- The NIFRS HMO Fire Safety Guide (July 2026) usually expects Grade D1 interlinked detection in smaller shared houses and a Grade A system with more than 6 occupants or over 200 m².
- A licence is needed where 3 or more people forming more than two households live as their main home and pay rent; the NI HMO Unit at Belfast City Council licenses for every council.
- New HMOs need building control approval as well as planning permission.
- Doors on protected routes are typically FD30 or FD30S, self-closing on three hinges; emergency lighting is required in HMOs of 4 or more storeys.
