A void refurbishment is the work done while a room or house is empty between tenancies: repairs, redecoration, flooring, deep cleaning and safety checks, done quickly so the room can be let again. Carmarthen is 22 miles north-west of Swansea. We price void and between-tenancy refurbs there against Wales’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. Carmarthen has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
