HMO expertise

If you are a buyer looking to invest in property, HMOs (houses in multiple occupation) and professional lettings may be worth considering. These types of properties can offer higher rental yields and more stable tenancies compared to traditional buy-to-let properties.

HMO properties are properties that are rented out to three or more people from different households who share common facilities like a kitchen or bathroom. While there are strict regulations to comply with, including fire safety and room sizes, the potential rental yields can be significant. HMOs are particularly popular with students and young professionals, and as such, they can offer a reliable source of rental income over the long term.

Professional lettings are another option that can offer stable tenancies, as they are typically rented out to working professionals on a single tenancy agreement. These properties are often in high demand in city centres or areas close to major employment hubs, and as such, can offer reliable rental yields.
