Newport (Newport) is 11 miles north-east of Cardiff. We price licence condition and schedule-of-works there against Wales’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for.

- 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.
