An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. In Aberdeen, a place of roughly 200,000 people, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Scotland and the council’s written HMO standards. Aberdeen has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.

Which rules apply in Aberdeen?
The rules below are the Scotland-wide position for this kind of work. Councils add their own standards and schemes on top, so we always check the address in Aberdeen before we price.
- Room sizes are set by each council; East Lothian, for example, uses 6.5 m² for a single room with a shared lounge and kitchen, and 10 m² without.
- Kitchen, WC and bathroom ratios come from council standards; one WC and one bath or shower per 5 people is a common figure.
- 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.
- An EICR before the first let and at least every 5 years, with C1 and C2 items fixed, PAT testing of supplied appliances and RCD protection.
