What Is an HMO?
A House in Multiple Occupation generally involves a property occupied by multiple tenants who share facilities such as a kitchen or bathroom.
HMO rules and licensing requirements can vary depending on the property and local authority, so investors should check the requirements that apply to the specific property.
Why Analyse an HMO Before Buying?
A higher rental income does not necessarily mean a better investment.
Investors should consider mortgage costs, utilities, maintenance, management, insurance, licensing, compliance, refurbishment, void periods and other operating expenses when assessing an HMO.
HMO Properties at Auction
Auction properties can sometimes offer opportunities to convert or refurbish properties for HMO use.
Before bidding, investors should investigate planning requirements, licensing, local demand, property condition, permitted occupancy and the costs of any required works.
What Makes a Good HMO Investment?
The strongest HMO opportunities typically depend on a combination of purchase price, achievable rents, operating costs, financing, local tenant demand and the property's suitability for HMO use.
Always base your appraisal on realistic rental figures and conservative cost assumptions.
