Gas, electrical and alarm certificates in Arnold: common questions

What documents does Gedling Borough Council ask for with an HMO licence?

Councils usually ask for floor plans showing room sizes and fire safety features, gas and electrical safety certificates, and fire alarm and emergency lighting certificates. We check Gedling Borough Council's current list for your application.

Do HMOs in Arnold need a fire risk assessment?

Fire safety law requires a fire risk assessment of the common parts of most HMOs, and councils commonly ask to see one with a licence application. We arrange the assessment and the works it recommends.

How often are electrical checks needed in an HMO?

Private tenancies in England need an electrical installation condition report before the tenancy starts and at least every five years, and gas appliances need a safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months.

Do I need a licence for a three or four person HMO in Arnold?

Not under a council scheme we could find when we checked. Mandatory licensing starts at five people, and councils can add schemes, so we confirm with Gedling Borough Council before you let.
