Goole is 19 miles south-east of York. We price house to HMO conversion 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 Goole?
House to HMO conversion in Goole must satisfy national law for England, the council’s written HMO standards and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- Licences last up to 5 years and carry conditions on gas and electrical safety, alarms, room sizes and waste.
- Floor area under a ceiling lower than 1.5 m does not count towards the room size, and many councils set larger sizes.
- Council standards often step up at 5 and 6 sharers, for example a separate WC at 5 and a second bathroom from 6.
- 7 or more sharers is a sui generis large HMO and normally needs planning permission.

Will the house pass licensing once the works are done?
We build to the standards your council publishes and give you the certificates and drawings an inspection asks for. The licence decision belongs to the licensing authority, so we never promise approval, but we design to meet the written standards from day one.

Does a shared house in Goole need an HMO licence?
