Advice EPC HMO's & Student Lets Landlord News Landlord News Landlords Questions

Hi, I bought two houses in the 1990s and these have a D rating. One is a five-bed and the other is a six-bed house both of which are HMOs. I have made improvements as requested by the council to obtain and renew the HMO licences.

Both houses are on three floors NOT including the basement. I know that we will at some point need to improve the rating to a C. I am looking for some advice on what would be the best way to get my properties to a C rating.

The houses were built in the 1920/30’s and are student houses.

Thank you,

Lawrie
