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. In Flint, a town of about 26,000 people, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s written HMO standards.

Which rules apply in Flint?
Licence condition and schedule-of-works in Flint must satisfy national law for Wales, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
- Fitness for human habitation rules require mains-powered, interlinked smoke alarms on every storey and CO alarms where there is a gas, oil or solid-fuel appliance.
- 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.
