    Your assumption of any feelings I may or may not have, is your choice. - not feelings. facts. You changed your story to throw people off. I asked a question on this forum in order to receive a factual answer or discussion about the topic as opposed to discussing your feelings about the question.



    Why does the question bother you so much? If you can't answer or don't have any knowledge on the topic, why not just go to another thread to give answers to something you do know about.

    Oh no, I do know the answer. It's really straight forward and has been explained to you by several other posters. It seems people resent your requirement for it to be a gov website, and anything else is clearly just nonsense. Like I say, if you don't like it, go and pay someone to tell you what you do like.

    If that was true, you'd be typing it.

    If that was true, I wouldn't still be waiting for an answer & you'd be quoting them.

    If you think you can rely on unsolicited third party websites when it comes to controversial laws that affect whether you have a criminal record or not, then you're a fool- you at least need to have it from the source.

    - nah, that would be too helpful to someone who has been consistently rude.

    - Actually I read statute, but it may be a bit over your head, which is why you were provided with 3 links to summarise the position.


    Thanks for that. :cool:



    Now you have the link, you'll no doubt work it out

    Here's a quick tip.

    If you want strangers to do your research for you for free so that you can make more money, you might do better by being more polite about it.

    I've stuck with the thread though you being quite patronising, at times arrogant and on occasion rude to those who have tried to interject with you

    Believe what you will and assume whatever you like about the answer to the question,but you'll get no more from me going forward.

    You're fast alienating some knowledgeable posters with your remarks.

    I'll re-word the question; under the gov rules, does an independent annexe form part of a large HMO?


    No, a self contained annexe flat with no connection to the main HMO apart from a solid brick wall will not fall within the definition of sec254 of the Housing Act 2004 and therefore doesnt fall into the licensable HMO definition.


    It could fall into sec254(3) if the annexe was occupied by 5 or more persons in 2 or more households come the 1st October 2018.
