A professional or co-living HMO refurbishment creates a higher-specification shared home: ensuite bedrooms, well-designed shared kitchens and lounges, good sound insulation, and finishes aimed at working tenants. For a house in Hamilton we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.
