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. Loughborough is 9 miles north of Leicester. We price licence condition and schedule-of-works there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. Loughborough has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Loughborough?
Here is what usually applies to a Loughborough job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
- 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.
