Rooms let individually for higher gross yields and income spread across several tenants.
A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property let to three or more tenants from more than one household, sharing facilities like a kitchen or bathroom. Each room is rented individually rather than the whole house to a single family.
Houses in Multiple OccupationSeveral rooms under one roof typically out-earn a single let on the same property — often in the region of 8–12% gross, against roughly 5–6% for a standard buy-to-let.
If one room sits empty, the others keep paying. Your cashflow doesn’t hinge on a single tenant.
Students, young professionals and key workers priced out of self-contained flats keep room demand high in the right areas.
HMOs are more hands-on. They carry licensing rules, possible Article 4 planning restrictions, tougher safety standards and higher refurb and management costs. The yield is real — but so is the work behind it. We factor all of it in before you ever see a deal.
We source HMO-suitable stock, check licensing and Article 4 status for the area, model the numbers room by room, and build refurbishment costs into the return — so the yield you see is the yield you can actually expect.
Hands-off, often long-lease income from property used to house adults with care needs.
