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 Pontypridd (CF37) 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. Pontypridd has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
