A full HMO refurbishment brings a tired or non-compliant shared house back up to standard in one project: strip-out, repairs, new kitchens and bathrooms, fire safety, electrics, heating, decoration and flooring. Landlords in Craigavon (BT62, BT63, BT64 and BT65) usually come to us with a council letter, a fire risk assessment or a house they have just bought. We price from whichever you have.

Which rules apply in Craigavon?
Full HMO refurbishment in Craigavon must satisfy national law for Northern Ireland, the NI HMO standards and licence conditions and, where walls, drainage or fire separation change, the building rules. In short:
- A licence is needed where 3 or more people forming more than two households live as their main home and pay rent; the NI HMO Unit at Belfast City Council licenses for every council.
- Kitchens, bathrooms and WCs must meet the 2019 living accommodation standard regulations and licence conditions.
- The NIFRS HMO Fire Safety Guide (July 2026) usually expects Grade D1 interlinked detection in smaller shared houses and a Grade A system with more than 6 occupants or over 200 m².
- HMO licence conditions require a satisfactory EICR at least every 5 years.
