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. Kingston upon Hull is 50 miles east of Leeds. We price void and between-tenancy refurbs there against England’s HMO rules and the council’s written HMO standards, so work is planned to the standard an inspection looks for. Kingston upon Hull has a university population, so many shared houses are let to students on yearly tenancies, and summer is the main window for works.
