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. Landlords in Flint (CH6) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

Which rules apply in Flint?
The rules below are the Wales-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Flint before we price.
- 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.
- Kitchen and bathroom ratios are set in each council’s HMO standards.
- More than 6 sharers is a sui generis HMO and needs planning permission; councils such as Cardiff apply concentration limits.
