For a house in Bellshill we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Bellshill?

The rules below are the Scotland-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Bellshill before we price.

  • Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
  • The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.
  • An EICR before the first let and at least every 5 years, with C1 and C2 items fixed, PAT testing of supplied appliances and RCD protection.
  • Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
