Still not getting my head around artificial lights
Before you tackle interior lighting it would be worth exploring why your scenes are struggling to light interior spaces.
It could be a glass setting or your HDR is not casting enough light.
Add a Sun light along with the HDR and make it shoot light in the window. Adjust its strength and radius to get it to your liking.
That's what I would do before even adding any assets into the scene. Get the interior space lit how you want.

I was finding the larger premises difficult to motivate myself with so am going back to the smaller. The backgound/hdri has auto exposure selected in Rayscaper but is washed out.
The old SLR dilemna of exposing for either the interior or exterior but never both.
-
What is the setup for the window glass? Is it thickened? Two planes?
-
Half inch glass pane with 10% opacity. Works elsewhere.

I reduced the hdri to 0.01%.

The pan and splatt effect is back.

OK HDRI only light source outside the model, painted on to a surface half the building height as a scaling mechanism. HDRI set to 0.80.

@Mike-Amos
like the view and the subdued interior lighting on this one. Well done.
-
Thanks mate, not even close, takes me a while to find the sweet spot at the moment. Moving on.

Good stuff mike!
You mentioned that auto-exposure is doing funky things? Is the image below using auto-exposure? If so, what does it look like without auto-exposure?
For the window glass, make sure you are using the glass material with thin & transparent shadows:
