How we handle HMO void refurbishment work in Hucknall
We turn round empty HMO rooms in Hucknall 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 Hucknall are harder to predict. We agree standard finishes and a set checklist with landlords across Nottinghamshire, so a room can be put right without waiting on decisions.
