What is a House in Multiple Occupation?

House in Multiple Occupation is a term that has been created by local authorities as a tool for regulating those properties which are occupied by a certain number of unrelated people. Statistically, it has been proven that more hazards and accidents occur in these properties than any other. The regulations provide specific standards of accommodation which must be complied with, predominantly concerning fire safety and property management.

HMO Scotland Limited are very aware that property owners may be cautious of what the upgrading works comprise. Our aim is to carry out the works to the highest standard and as discreetly as possible. Once the works are completed, it is highly probable that ongoing maintenance issues will be significantly reduced if not dissolved altogether and the overall presentation improved.
