HMO layout reconfiguration changes the internal plan of a shared house so the rooms, kitchens and bathrooms work together: moving or adding walls, splitting oversized rooms, merging undersized ones, or moving the kitchen off the escape route. Landlords in Troon (KA2 and KA10) 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.
