An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Landlords in Coleraine (BT51 and BT52) 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. Coleraine has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
