The Licensing and Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (Additional Provisions) (Wales) Regulations 2007
Regulations 3 to 11 of these Regulations apply to houses in multiple occupation (“HMOs”) in Wales that are converted blocks of flats to which section 257 of the Housing Act 2004 (“the Act”) applies (“section 257 HMOs”). These are buildings that have been converted into and consist of self-contained flats where the building work undertaken in connection with the conversion did not comply with the appropriate building standards and still does not comply with them, and less than two-thirds of the self-contained flats are owner-occupied.
