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. Rutherglen is 3 miles south-east of Glasgow. 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.
