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. In Aberystwyth, a town of about 19,000 people in Ceredigion, the work is planned around the HMO rules for Wales and the council’s written HMO standards. With students as well as working sharers renting in Aberystwyth, we plan bigger jobs for the gap between academic-year tenancies where we can.
