The popularity of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) properties has increased over recent years and with it the availability of specialist HMO mortgages. With greater potential for higher yields and higher monthly profits than traditional Buy to Lets, HMOs have become an appealing choice for many landlords. However, the HMO market is a specialist one and it’s important to understand the rules and regulations before taking the plunge.

If you have a property with five or more tenants, from two or more separate households who share facilities, it’s likely you will require an HMO license and therefore an HMO mortgage. This must be checked with your local authority as they will make the final decision. If your HMO doesn’t require a license then you’ll need a multi-let mortgage.
The legal obligations for an HMO are more involved than a standard Buy to Let and cover areas such as the suitability of the property, maintenance requirements, gas safety checks, electrical & fire safety checks, planning and insurance.
There will be different financial and tax implications for your HMO depending on whether you operate as a private individual or a limited company.
As well as age, income and credit history, HMO mortgage lenders will consider factors such as property value and height, landlord experience and occupancy as well as kitchen and communal facilities.
Securing HMO mortgage finance can be a complicated process, so it’s important to make sure you’ve got everything covered.
