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. In Rossendale, a town of around 65,000 people in Lancashire, the work is planned around the HMO rules for England and the council’s written HMO standards.
