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

- Councils such as Cardiff and Swansea run additional licensing for HMOs outside the mandatory scheme.
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
