HMO refurbishment for Newark-on-Trent landlords
We refurbish existing HMOs in Newark-on-Trent that have fallen behind current standards, whether the prompt is a licence renewal, a council inspection or rooms that have become hard to let. The survey splits the work into safety, licence and optional items so the priorities are clear.
Where rooms in a Newark-on-Trent house are still let, we phase the work so tenants keep a working kitchen, bathroom and alarm system throughout. For landlords across Nottinghamshire, each job ends with updated certificates and photos ready to send to the council.
- Phasing plan that keeps occupied rooms usable
- Kitchens, bathrooms, electrics and decoration renewed as agreed
- Room-by-room condition and compliance survey
- Works list split into safety, licence and optional items
