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 Sheffield we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. With students as well as working sharers renting in Sheffield, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
