An HMO bedroom upgrade refits a letting room so it is more comfortable and easier to let: built-in storage, a proper desk space, better lighting and sockets, sound-reducing doors, durable flooring and fresh decoration. For a house in Peterhead we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately.
