Damp and mould in an HMO is usually caused by condensation, leaks or rising or penetrating damp, and often by a mix. Aberdeen is in Scotland. We price damp, mould and HHSRS repairs there against Scotland’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. With students as well as working sharers renting in Aberdeen, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
