HMO Applications
An HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) is a property shared by three or more unrelated individuals who have separate living spaces but share common facilities like bathrooms and kitchens.
If you are converting a property into an HMO or making significant changes to an existing HMO, you will need to apply for HMO permission. The process involves obtaining necessary approvals from the local authority to ensure the property meets safety, health, and occupancy standards for multiple occupants.
