A small HMO is a shared house for three to six unrelated people. For a house in Bangor (Gwynedd) we start with a measured survey, check the council’s written HMO standards for the number of sharers, and then price each item separately. Bangor (Gwynedd) has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
