Damp and mould in an HMO is usually caused by condensation, leaks or rising or penetrating damp, and often by a mix. For a house in Glasgow we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. Glasgow has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
