In short: Licence condition works are the jobs a council asks for before or after granting an HMO licence: things like extra detection, fire doors, a second bathroom, kitchen changes or repairs. We carry this out across Carmarthenshire, priced against the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s own standards.

Which rules apply in Carmarthenshire?
- 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.
- Council HMO standards and the fire risk assessment set detection, fire doors and escape routes.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- Councils assess hazards, including damp and mould, under the HHSRS, alongside the fitness for human habitation rules for occupation contracts.
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
Welsh councils set their own HMO standards and may run additional licensing. In Wales, changing a house to a C4 HMO always needs planning permission, so check planning first.
