Licence condition works are the jobs a council asks for before or after granting an HMO licence: things like extra detection, fire doors, a second bathroom, kitchen changes or repairs. Saint Andrews is 11 miles south-east of Dundee. We price licence condition and schedule-of-works there against Scotland’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. 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.
