Damp and mould in an HMO is usually caused by condensation, leaks or rising or penetrating damp, and often by a mix. Landlords in Burnley (BB10 and BB11) 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. Burnley has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
