Which rules apply in Beverley?
Here is what usually applies to a Beverley job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
- The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
