HMO Property Management

A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a type of rental property where at least three tenants, not forming a single family, share common facilities such as bathrooms and kitchens. HMOs can take various forms, including shared houses, flats, or converted buildings. The key characteristic is the communal living arrangement.

While many properties can be converted into an HMO, not all are suitable. Factors like size, layout, and local regulations play a crucial role. We’ll assess your property’s viability and guide you through the necessary steps for conversion, ensuring compliance with regulations and maximizing its potential as an HMO.

We’ll guide you through the necessary steps, from assessing property suitability to assisting with licensing applications.

Yes, a landlord can live in their HMO property. However, it’s essential to consider the specific regulations in your location, as some areas may have requirements or restrictions regarding the landlord’s residence in an HMO. 

As an HMO landlord, your added legal obligations extend to ensuring fire and general safety, maintaining water supply and drainage, adhering to gas and electricity standards, managing waste disposal, and upkeeping the overall condition of the HMO property.
