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. Middlesbrough is 31 miles south-east of Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 Middlesbrough, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
