An HMO ensuite is a small private shower room, with a WC and basin, built into or next to a letting room. Middlesbrough is 31 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne. We price ensuite installation there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. Middlesbrough has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
