An HMO in Stamford has to work for three audiences: the council, the people who live there and the owner's figures. We design with all three in mind and price the result in writing.
We'll tell you plainly if a house in Stamford isn't suited to the number of rooms you have in mind, and what it would take to make it work.

Void and turnaround refurbishment in Stamford: what we do
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Stamford between tenancies: inspection, repairs, redecoration, a deep clean and safety checks, finished with photos you can use to advertise the room. Each job is quoted per room or per job after we have seen it.
Because tenants can now give notice at any point in the year, voids in Stamford are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Lincolnshire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
- Move-out inspection with dated photos
- Completion photos ready for advertising the room
- Gas safety and electrical report dates reviewed
- Deep clean of the room and nearby shared areas
- Fire door, closer and alarm checks
