居住（者）s worry that the new 所有物／資産／財産 will 原因（となる） an influx of 訪問者s and 増加する noise?

He explained: '使用／適用s are rising because more and more 会議s are introducing '付加 licensing' which brings three and four person '株 houses' and 変えるd flats into the remit of needing to be licensed.?

?'All 所有物／資産／財産s with three or more persons how are not the same family (by 血, marriage or 性の union) are by 鮮明度／定義 HMOs under the 住宅 行為／法令／行動する 2004 (as 修正するd).'

But with little to no 機関 in the 決定／判定勝ち（する）s made by either landlord or 会議, 関心d 地元のs have 選ぶd up the fight in the only way they can: by vociferously 反対するing to new HMOs in planning 使用／適用s.?

On Freemantle Road in Bexley, South London, 憤慨 boiled over when the news broke that a bungalow was 始める，決める to become a six-person HMO.?

反対するing in the strongest possible 条件, one 地元の 宿泊するd an 公式の／役人 comment on the 使用／適用, 令状ing: 'The 提案するd 開発 would attract the wrong type of people… The HMO would result in an 増加する in antisocial behaviour along Fremantle Road.'?

On the ground, 歓迎会 for the six new 隣人s is even frostier with 地元のs living in 恐れる their already congested road will become a car park.?

銀行業者 John Andrews, 62, has lived in Fremantle Road for the 大多数 of his life and grew up in a house on a 隣人ing road.

He told MailOnline the 開発 would 原因（となる） a variety of 問題／発行するs.

He said: 'A lot of the big houses are 存在 knocked 負かす／撃墜する around here, 存在 turned into flats and stuff. I've been here since 1960.

'There are a lot more people living here, it 明白に 衝撃s services, doctors 特に. The wait for doctors now is ridiculous.

'I'm not 特に happy, 明白に because it's nicer to have 半分s with families living there. If it's an HMO it's probably going to be 選び出す／独身 people, 潜在的に more noise, more cars.

'There are cars parked all around that corner. But you can't really stop it can you, I've not even been told about it.

'It used to be all just families around here. If there's six individuals coming in that's six cars.'

A 79-year-old 隣人 living opposite the 未来 HMO put in her own 反対 to the bungalow 開発 opposite her house.

79-year-old Dianne Bell wrote a letter to the 会議 as a last 訴える手段／行楽地 but the HMO was still 認可するd?

地元のs are 関心d that the road will become a car park 予定 to the influx of people the HMO will bring?

The new rooms that have been 任命する／導入するd on the bungalow stick out from the roof

Diane Bell said: 'I wrote a letter 同様に as a person 負かす／撃墜する the hill, I think about eight families sent it. Then I sent it with my letter.

'I said I've lived in this house 52 years and the area is beginning to change, it's now impossible to park your car.

'The people who teach motorbike kids come along here, they stand there, it's exceptionally dangerous, and then all the other people are old like me and they shouldn't have a car, though I've got a car.

'Another six people living in there, parking, is going to make a big big difference to the area. It's a small house and there's going to be very little at the 支援する. It's another thing about the whole road 存在 too busy.

'I don't suppose they'll be making a noise or whatever, but if one of them has a party, if they're individual people, I just am 関心d.

'They were little bungalows and it seems a bit much because it's not a very big 場所／位置.

'The work that's gone into it, it's been for months. They've had 負担s of different 建設業者s there - it was in a terrible 明言する／公表する, but it was a sound place. It was alright, it was a bit mouldy, an old boy had lived t here and it was 十分な of junk.

'But [the 買い手] has to realise on his 投資. I just don't want it for me, and I might move anyway.

'This area is 比較して cheap, that's why you're getting all this happening anyway. Because of the Elizabeth Line more people are moving here. The posher areas are creeping out.

'The 隣人s were new and I feel sorry for them because they bought that and then all this happened, so he was a bit put out.

'You can't have families in that, can you? If you've got one room each and a bathroom?'

どこかよそで in London, the 居住（者）s of Morland Road are also 星／主役にするing 負かす／撃墜する the バーレル／樽 of a transformative HMO

Since 使用／適用s were 認めるd for a HMO on the road 居住（者）s have been blighted by scaffolding

地元のs now 恐れる that the new HMo could 脅す their 'tight-knit community'?

The Bexley 演劇 is one of thousands playing out across London's 居住の 中心地域s.?

People living on Morland Road, Sutton, south London 報告（する）／憶測d a new 買い手 適用するd for a loft 転換, third bedroom and kitchen 拡張 and then edited it into new HMO license, turning the two up two 負かす／撃墜する terrace house into a six bedroom 所有物／資産／財産.

居住（者）s said they were not made aware of the switch to an HMO 使用／適用.

They （人命などを）奪う，主張するd they didn't 反対する to the kitchen and loft develo pments but weren't 申し込む／申し出d an 適切な時期 to 反対する to the new rooms that will be 賃貸し（する）d out, 主張するing they would have done.

地元の 議員s told them any 反対s to six person HMOs were under the remit of central 政府, and therefore out of Sutton Borough 会議's 手渡すs.

With nothing left in their locker to argue with, 地元のs are now 辞職するd to the 転換s and are 準備するing themselves for car and 汚水 問題／発行するs.?

Georgina K, who lives on the street and in is 戦う／戦いing the 会議 over HMOs, said: 'We've got a の近くに knit community, whether people own or rent - this is not a tirade about people renting.

'This is going 支援する to Victorian slum dwelling - six rooms in a two up two 負かす／撃墜する, and each one with a Saniflo 洗面所, they're 悪名高い for 封鎖するing.

'From my point of 見解（をとる） this is about 開発／利用 of people, and it's about the 開発／利用 of people at the lower end of the ladder, people who 現実に have no other 代案／選択肢 but to live in an HMO. And incidentally, I used to live in an HMO when I was a student.

'I'm coming from that background, a lot of us in this street are, we were all young once and we lived in HMOs, and we dealt with landlords who were not responsible, and I think this is what we've got here - it's about 開発／利用 and it's about 不当利得行為.

'I know that's the 指名する of the game in this country at the moment, in all sorts of ways, but this has got to be stopped.

'There is a 住宅 危機 in this country, but you don't solve a 住宅 危機 by creating another 危機.

'What we're 関心d about is there are two 所有物／資産／財産s coming up for sale on Reading Road, and Reading Road is 伴う／関わるd in all of this.

'We are 関心d that since the 議員s ar e 説 it's not our 責任／義務, it's the 責任／義務 of central 政府, then nobody's going to step in and do anything about these two houses.'

Some 居住（者）s have 関心s about the 影響s six new 洗面所s will have on their communal 汚水 system

にもかかわらず the 反対s of 居住（者）s, the 議論の的になる HMO still went through?

An 匿名の／不明の 隣人 said that she was not made aware of the 使用／適用 change. She worried the 新規加入 of six macerator Saniflo 洗面所s, which 恐らく have a propensity to 封鎖する, could be 破壊的な.

She said: 'The house was sold and we were sent a letter asking to 調印する a parti-塀で囲む 協定, the 製図／抽選s we were sent to that had a loft 転換 and a third bedroom and an 延長するd kitchen, out four metres.

'We never heard anything else about it, we didn't hear about any other 使用／適用s, until the owner nearby 設立する out it's 現実に not for a loft 転換 it's going to be an HMO with six bedrooms and six Saniflo 洗面所s.

'We weren't told anything about that, at all. We're worried about noise, these houses were built late 80s, 90s, the 現在の tenant, I hear him snore. That's how thin the 塀で囲むs are.

'So you can imagine six Saniflos, six separate tenants, they have boyfriends and girlfriends, it's not going to be six people there's going to be more.

'Then a very small kitchen 一打／打撃 living room that's 18 square metres for six 加える people, of course I'm worried about noise.

'I've lived in a flat with a Saniflo, it 封鎖するs up, now you've got six. So yeah, noise, overcrowding, parking 許すs. And not having a 選び出す／独身 word or say in it? I didn't buy a 所有物／資産／財産 to live next to an HMO.

'Most people who live on this street are families, they buy the houses because they're terrace houses, they're for families, and now they're turning a two bedroom house into a six bedroom house.

'I understand we need more 住宅, but is it 権利 to squeeze them all in?'

Morland Road runs の上に Reading Road, and one 居住（者） of the street said the neighbourhood was 苦しむing as a result of HMOs.

The 30-year-old woman, who asked not to be 指名するd, said: 'I just recently moved 支援する to my parents' house, and we've been here for years, and it's not helping us. The community is 基本的に breaking 負かす／撃墜する over this.

'There's いっそう少なく communication and there's いっそう少なく togetherness. If the house is just put together without 警告, there's no 肉親，親類d of, okay, welcome to the neighbourhood.

'These roads do get together and stuff, but now everyone's 肉親，親類d of 孤立するing. 罪，犯罪 is going up, it used to be much better when I was younger but now it's getting worse. You want to know your 隣人.'

どこかよそで in the 資本／首都, once tight knit communities have 報告（する）／憶測d 存在 carved open by vulture like planners 捜し出すing to earn lucrative sums on the HMO 貿易（する）.??

18-year-old?Joe Desmond says developers have already tried to buy his parent's house

A newly fitted?HMO on Homersham Road Kingston Upon Thames の近くに to where Mr Desmond lives?

In Kingston, an young man who has just passed his A-Levels and resides with his parents, said a company tried to buy his new home off his mum and dad.

Joe Desmond, 18, lives metres from a new HMO 開発 on Homersham Road and said: 'You've got the train 駅／配置する five minutes 負かす／撃墜する the road, Kingston 10 minutes 負かす／撃墜する the road, who wouldn't want to live here?

'But [developers] have been trying for years - we moved in 2015. They tried to buy out the owners, but the old owners were old and had family they raised here, so they 手配中の，お尋ね者 to sell it to a family and sold it to us.

'The developers （機の）カム and knocked on the door the day we moved in. It was a company. They were desperate.

'It's 絶対 a worry, this is a really nice 居住の place and it's sad that nice houses will be turned into these things, but, you know, it is what it is. At the end of the day, what can one do about it? People need houses.'

And sadly for 居住（者）s on the 前線 line of the HMO's, it's not just paranoia as 専門家s （人命などを）奪う，主張する there can be very real 危険s to their 所有物／資産／財産 from the 転換s.?

専門家s say 95% of HMOs are in some 違反 of building practices?

If a HMO is 貧しく 建設するd it can bring 負かす／撃墜する the value of 隣人ing 所有物／資産／財産s?

Phil 海がめ is a 同意／服従 director at Landlords Defence and told MailOnline that of the 所有物／資産／財産s he 検査／視察するs around 95% are in 違反 of strict planning 規則s 手渡すd 負かす／撃墜する by 地元の 会議s.?

He explained: 'All HMOs must 従う with HMO 管理／経営 規則s and the 会議 can and does 罰金 landlords up to £30,000 per bre ach on about a dozen different factors - so the 財政上の 危険s to landlords in running HMOs are 巨大な.

'At Landlord Licensing & Defence, 同様に as helping landlords get the necessary licences we also do hundred of 所有物／資産／財産 査察s to help landlords get their 所有物／資産／財産s 'compliant' with 管理／経営 規則s and the 住宅 Health and Safety 率ing System 同様に as 会議 Amenity 基準s.

'Of the 所有物／資産／財産s we 検査／視察する it would be fair to say that 95% have 違反s of the 管理／経営 規則s that would get the landlord £25,000 to £100,000 in 罰金s if they hadn't had the sense to get a professional 同意／服従 audit and do the work before the 会議 検査／視察するs.?

'会議s now have no 利益／興味 in advising landlords and are only 利益／興味d in 施行するing against landlords because their 財政／金融 departments have realised that - because the 政府 lets the 会議 keep all the money they can raise in landlord 罰金s and 基本的に they 始める，決める the 支配するs, are the 住宅 police, 裁判官 and 陪審／陪審員団 and get to keep the money.'?

But even if the 会議s are making money, there are many who stand to lose out if nearby HMOs are sloppily built.?

Mr 海がめ continued: 'With regards to 所有物／資産／財産 values it can go two ways. Old fashioned grotty-end of the market HMOs (which 会議s seem to assume they all are) tend to be 不正に 持続するd, with too often 貧しく behaved tenants, and these can indeed depress values of nearby 所有物／資産／財産s.

'However, thousands of landlords have made really posh HMOs that are of the same 質 as posh Serviced Accommodation. These are 絶対の 高級な and with 井戸／弁護士席 behaved and behaved tenants (doctors, dentists, teachers, university professors etc).?

'Where these 転換s are happening in areas that were 伝統的に grotty HMOs it brings up the area and 増加する s values.'
