Landlords in Larkhall (ML9) 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 Larkhall?

Here is what usually applies to a Larkhall job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.

  • The tolerable standard requires interlinked smoke alarms in the main living room and circulation spaces and a heat alarm in the kitchen; licensed HMOs must meet the council’s higher standard.
  • Awaab’s Law applies to most private tenancies from 6 October 2026: damp and mould reports must be investigated within 10 working days, and repairs to substantial damp or mould must start within 5 working days.
  • Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
  • Councils set HMO fire standards through licence conditions, often including emergency lighting in larger HMOs.
