For a house in Halewood we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Which rules apply in Halewood?
Here is what usually applies to a Halewood 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.
