A shared bathroom refit replaces worn or failing bathrooms in an HMO with hard-wearing, easy-clean ones: good extraction, waterproofing, thermostatic showers and finishes that stand up to several users a day. In Inverness, a town of around 50,000 people in Highland, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Scotland and the council’s written HMO standards. With students as well as working sharers renting in Inverness, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
