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. Bebington is 4 miles south of Liverpool. 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.

Licence condition and schedule-of-works in Bebington must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:

  • Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
  • The Fire Safety Order 2005 applies to the common parts of HMOs, enforced by the fire and rescue authority.
  • 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.
