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. Landlords in Dundee (DD1 and DD4) 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. Dundee has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
