HMO electrical works keep the wiring in a shared house safe and certificated. Aberdeen is in Scotland. We price rewires and EICR remedials there against Scotland’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. Aberdeen has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
