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 Broxburn (EH52) 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.
