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 Egham we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. With students as well as working sharers renting in Egham, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
