We have an extensive knowledge of HMO licensing and years of experience in managing HMO properties. We offer free advice to landlords that are looking to purchase an HMO and offer a fully managed service or rent collection service. Due to their nature, HMO's require more time and a higher level of management. They commonly require a higher initial investment to ensure you adhere to health and safety regulations and some types of HMOs require licenses by the council. However, they are far more profitable to run compared to other types of residential lettings, with an increased rental income of two to three fold.

What are houses of multiple occupancy? HMO's are properties that are occupied by three or more tenants, not from the same family, who share one or more basic amenities, such as WC, bathroom facilities, and cooking facilities.

All HMO's are subject to Management Regulations and inspections under the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) whether a landlord needs a licence or not. This ensures that the property is managed properly and meets certain safety standards. The licence will be valid for up to three years and will then have to be renewed.
