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. For a house in Bangor (Gwynedd) 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 Bangor (Gwynedd), we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
