A house to HMO conversion turns a single-family home into a house in multiple occupation: a shared home for unrelated people with private bedrooms and shared kitchen or bathroom space. For a house in Llandudno we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.

Here is what usually applies to a Llandudno job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Landlords must register with Rent Smart Wales, and those who manage their own lets need a Rent Smart Wales licence.
- England’s national room sizes do not apply in Wales; councils set their own room standards.
