Frequently asked questions

What is an HMO property?

An HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) is a property rented out by three or more tenants from different households who share common areas like the kitchen, bathroom, or living space. HMOs typically require specific safety and legal standards to ensure the property is safe for multiple tenants, including fire safety measures and compliance certificates like EPC, EICR, and gas safety certificates.

What are the conditions of running an HMO?

To run an HMO, landlords must meet legal safety standards, including having a valid Gas Safety Certificate (renewed annually), Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR, renewed every five years), and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). Fire safety measures, such as smoke alarms, fire doors, and emergency lighting, are mandatory. The property must meet minimum space standards for bedrooms and communal areas, with working sanitation and heating systems. Depending on the property's size and location, an HMO license may also be required to ensure compliance with local regulations.

What do HMO inspections look for?

HMO inspections check for fire safety measures, such as smoke alarms, fire doors, and emergency lighting. Inspectors verify that the property has a valid EICR for electrical safety and a Gas Safety Certificate for gas appliances. They also assess living conditions, ensuring the property meets space requirements, has proper ventilation, heating, and sanitation, and that communal areas are safe and well-maintained. Any issues found during the inspection must be resolved to meet compliance standards.

How long does it take to complete a PAT test?

This will depend on the number of appliances that need to be tested. On average, an experienced electrician can perform a PAT test in a rental property in about 1 hour. Large commercial spaces with many pieces of equipment to check will, of course, take longer.
