HMO energy upgrades improve the energy performance certificate (EPC) rating and cut running costs: loft and wall insulation, heating and controls, glazing, ventilation and lighting. Landlords in Aberdeen (AB10, AB11, AB12 and AB24) 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. With students as well as working sharers renting in Aberdeen, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

Which rules apply in Aberdeen?
Here is what usually applies to a Aberdeen job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- Check current Scottish Government guidance on energy efficiency standards for private rented homes before planning upgrades.
- Awaab’s Law applies to most private tenancies from 6 October 2026: damp and mould reports must be investigated within 10 working days, and repairs to substantial damp or mould must start within 5 working days.
- A building warrant may be needed for a change of use or for installing a fire alarm system; check with the council’s building standards service.
