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. Redditch is 12 miles south of Birmingham. 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.

Which rules apply in Redditch?
The rules below are the England-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Redditch before we price.
- 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.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- Councils can fine up to £7,000 where a Category 1 hazard is not removed when it reasonably could have been.
