There are several benefits for landlords of using an HMO management company (agency):

1. Legal Compliance: HMO management companies are well-versed in the legal requirements for HMO properties. They would ensure that landlords are compliant with all relevant legislation, including fire safety regulations, licensing requirements, and other obligations.

2. Improved Property Standards: HMO management agencies can help landlords maintain high property standards. They can arrange for regular inspections and repairs, and ensure that the property is kept in good condition.

3. Tenant Management: HMO management companies can handle tenant management on behalf of landlords. They can handle all tenant inquiries, collect rent, and manage tenant issues and disputes.

4. Reduced Vacancy Rates: HMO management companies can help landlords reduce vacancy rates by advertising the property and conducting viewings. They can also provide advice on rental rates and market conditions.

5. Increased Profitability: By ensuring that the property is well-maintained, legally compliant, and fully occupied, HMO management companies can increase the profitability of the property for landlords.

Overall, using an HMO management company can save landlords time, reduce stress, and help them achieve their financial goals.

We will discuss about your property (existing or future HMO), any concerns or issues you may have.

We may also discuss about:

• Who is currently managing your property?

• What rent are you receiving monthly and yearly? 

• Are there already tenants living in your property?

• How much are the bills (energy, water, council tax), and who is paying for them?

• Could you tell us a bit more about your property..? - No of bedrooms (Singles and doubles), No of bathrooms, any Parking space, etc.?

• What is the average maintenance for your property?

• HMO License (if required) - Validity period & No of people your property is licensed for?

• How long have you owned your property?

• What guaranteed rent you have in mind?

• Are you considering selling in the future?

We could then arrange a viewing of your property if you would like to follow through.

In the following days after the viewing we will send you a detailed offer explaining how much guaranteed monthly rent we could pay you.

No deposit will be paid to you directly; we hold all tenants deposit in a Deposit Protection Scheme. 

Communal areas are professionally cleaned fortnightly. Our cleaners are also our eyes and ears and report to us (if not already reported by a tenant) any maintenance issues, which will be addressed early on.

We also conduct regular inspections, and retain deposits from tenants within a government-approved tenancy deposit scheme so any damages will be covered.

We use a lease agreement contract, written and reviewed by our solicitor.

We take on contracts for a minimum of 3 years and up to 5 years.

We could discuss what refurbishment or refreshment could be undertaken to add value to your property.
Either you can pay for the work, or if you would rather not invest at this time and like us to pay we would recoup the cost from the first months rent payments or offer a slightly lower guaranteed rent.

We can manage the project on your behalf with our contractors or yours.

Ideally your property would be furnished.
If your property is unfurnished we could furnish it and pay you a lower guaranteed for the first couple of months.

It includes door handles needing to be tightened, shower curtains to be replaced, light bulb replacement, etc.
We expect 80% of maintenance requests to be about minor issues, which we will take care of and pay for.

You are responsible for paying for white goods, gas / electrical / fire safety certificates, and bigger maintenance jobs.

For the bigger maintenance jobs we would assess the issue, get quotes and attain your appoval before proceeding. We do not add any surcharge to contractors invoices.

We will return your property in the condition that we rented it or better – it’s in our contract to do so. Alternatively you can choose to renew with us.
If you are considering selling your property please let us know first!

It is because:
- We use the latest tools and software to deal with all aspects of HMO properties efficiently and smoothly (tenants management, certificates renewals, maintenance, etc.).
- We go the extra mile to keep your property in best possible condition, maximize its value and attract professional long staying tenants.

By doing this we are able to take a small profit while paying you the agreed monthly guaranteed rent for the entire length of the contract.

We advertised our rooms for rent on Spareroom

We will email you a form to know more about you, arrange a Zoom meeting, meeting at the property, go through a referencing process, and finally sign an AST (Assured Shorthold Tenancy) contract.
