Frequently asked questions
Can you turn a 6-bed HMO around in 3 weeks?+
Yes — with sufficient lead time we routinely turn 5–7 bed HMOs in 2–3 weeks including bathrooms and kitchens.
Do you handle gas safety and EICR works?+
Yes. We hold Gas Safe registration and complete remedial electrical works as part of the refurbishment.
Can you handle multiple properties at once?+
We routinely run several HMO refurbishments in parallel during the summer void period.
Do you work to the City of Lincoln HMO licence standards?+
Yes. We know Lincoln's HMO licence conditions inside out — minimum room sizes, fire doors, alarm grades, kitchen provision and bathroom ratios.
Can you provide a photo pack for our licensing renewal?+
Every HMO refurb finishes with a photo pack covering fire compliance, condition of every room and services — ideal for licensing and insurance.
Do you offer reactive maintenance during the term as well?+
Yes. Most of our HMO clients move on to a planned + reactive maintenance arrangement with us after the first refurbishment.
Can you work around student move-out and move-in dates?+
Absolutely — the summer void window is our busiest period and we plan portfolios weeks in advance to hit September re-let dates.
