OXFORD HOTEL INVESTMENTS LTD v Great Yarmouth BC (2025) UKUT 387 (LC) at paras 18-28 holds that a microwave oven does NOT amount to “ cooking facilities”, for the purposes of the definition of an HMO in Section 254(A) of the Housing Act 1996, with the result that not all 3 of the “ basic amenities” (toilet, personal washing facilities and cooking facilities) are not present and there is not a “self-contained flat” but rather a part of an HMO.
