An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Landlords in Greenock (PA15 and PA16) 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.

Which rules apply in Greenock?
Here is what usually applies to a Greenock job of this kind. It is general information rather than legal advice, and the council’s written HMO standards have the final detail.
- 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.
