HMO is a specialism. We treat it as one.
HMOs deliver some of the strongest yields in the UK rental market - but only when run to a higher operational standard. Licensing, room-let dynamics, additional compliance, and high-touch tenant management, all under one team.
- Mandatory, additional, and selective HMO licensing - application, renewal, audit
- Room-by-room tenant find, referencing, and APT drafting
- HMO-specific compliance: FRA, FD30 doors, emergency lighting, fire-alarm servicing, PAT testing, EICR, gas safety
- Council inspections, schedule of works compliance, and licence-condition management
- High-frequency check-in / check-out, condition management, dispute handling
- Communal-area cleaning, garden, and waste schedules
- Weekly arrears tracking and active management of room voids
- Monthly statements split by unit and by room
Three KPIs. Every month. Every owner.
Occupancy %
Tracked at room level, reported in every monthly statement.
Gross yield
Calculated against acquisition cost and current market rents.
Compliance status
Every certificate, licence, and inspection - current or due.
HMOs are managed as financial assets first and tenancies second.
HMO rooms now let on APTs, not ASTs.
Under the Renters' Rights Act and the Government's implementation from 1 May 2026, Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs) have been abolished in England. Every HMO room-let is now issued under the new Assured Periodic Tenancy (APT) framework - referred to legally as an "assured tenancy" operating on a periodic basis.
Existing HMO ASTs converted to APTs on the implementation date unless they fell within specific transitional arrangements. Section 21 "no-fault" evictions no longer apply; possession from an HMO room now proceeds under Section 8 only, using the statutory grounds - including rent arrears, anti-social behaviour, and the other prescribed grounds.
For HMO operators this raises the bar on paperwork, licence-condition compliance and record-keeping. Every tenancy in every room we manage is drafted, renewed, and served under the current APT / Section 8 regime.
