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. Landlords in Heywood (M24, OL10 and OL11) 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.
