An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. For a house in Saint Andrews we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. Saint Andrews has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
