HMO Investment FAQs
What is an HMO property?
An HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) is a property rented to 3+ tenants from 2+ households who share facilities like kitchens and bathrooms. HMOs generate higher yields because rent is charged per room rather than per property. Properties with 5+ tenants from 2+ households require a mandatory HMO licence.
What yield can I expect from an HMO?
HMOs typically generate 10-15% gross yields compared to 5-8% for standard BTL. A 6-bed HMO with rooms at 500/month generates 3,000/month vs 1,200-1,500 for a single let. Our HMO calculator shows exact returns including management and licensing costs.
Do I need a licence for an HMO?
Mandatory licensing applies to HMOs with 5+ tenants from 2+ separate households. Many councils also have Additional Licensing schemes covering smaller HMOs. Licence fees range from 500-1,500+ and must be renewed every 5 years. Check with your local council before purchasing.
What are the extra costs of running an HMO?
HMOs have additional costs: utilities (usually included in rent), council tax (potentially higher band), HMO licence fees, fire safety equipment (fire doors, alarms, extinguishers), higher insurance premiums, and management fees (typically 12-18% vs 8-12% for BTL).
