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. Grimsby is 30 miles north-east of Lincoln. We price licence condition and schedule-of-works there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. With students as well as working sharers renting in Grimsby, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.

- Under the Renters’ Rights Act, civil penalties reach £40,000 for offences such as running an unlicensed HMO.
