Which rules apply in Derbyshire?

Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
Fire precautions follow a risk assessment; the LACORS Housing – Fire Safety guide (2008) is guidance, not law, but many councils base their standards on it.
National rules ask for an adequate number of bathrooms, WCs and basins and suitably located kitchens; numeric ratios are set by each council.
Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.

Councils in England can add additional licensing and Article 4 directions on top of the national rules. Check the council’s website for the exact address before you buy or start work.
