Frequently asked questions
Does Gwynedd Council accept FRASafe reports for HMO licensing in Bangor?
Yes. FRASafe produces a written fire risk assessment aligned with BS 9792:2025 and the RRO 2005 — the format Gwynedd Council requires for mandatory HMO licence applications. The RRO 2005 applies equally in Wales.
Does my Bangor HMO need a fire risk assessment?
Yes. The RRO 2005 requires a written fire risk assessment for all HMOs. This applies equally in Wales. Gwynedd Council requires this as part of mandatory HMO licensing for properties with five or more occupants in two or more households.
How does Wales differ from England for HMO fire safety?
The RRO 2005 applies equally in Wales, so fire safety obligations are the same as in England.

Gwynedd Council's HMO licensing conditions incorporate both sets of requirements.
