Section 3 - Property with Paul Langshaw: HMO Lessons
There is a lot written about HMOs, house of multiple occupation, and they certainly can be a great source of income. I took this to the extreme when I leased a 56 bedroom hotel.
But if you’re just starting up, adding to your portfolio or diversifying from a different asset class, then it's worth knowing more.
Student HMOs, are lucrative but the real money is finding a niche in the professional sharing market.
What are those benefits benefits and potential pitfalls of House of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs).
Understanding House of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs)
HMOs, commonly known as "house shares", refer to properties where multiple unrelated tenants live together and share common areas. Here are some key points:
1.Shared Accommodation. HMOs provide individual rooms for rent within a larger property. Tenants share common areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces.
2. Cost-Effective Living. HMOs offer affordable housing options, especially for students, young professionals, or those on a budget.
3. Community and Social Interaction.
Living in an HMO fosters social connections and a sense of community among tenants.
Advantages of HMOs
1.Affordability: Renting a room in an HMO is often cheaper than renting an entire property.
2.Shared Bills. Tenants split utility bills, reducing individual costs.
3. Flexible Leases. HMOs typically offer shorter leases, allowing tenants to adapt their living arrangements more easily.
Potential Pitfalls of HMOs
1.Noise and Privacy: Shared living spaces can lead to noise and privacy issues.
2.Landlord Responsibilities, Landlords must manage multiple tenants, maintenance, and compliance with regulations.
3. Tenant Compatibility, Compatibility among housemates varies, affecting overall living experience.
For the professional market having a capable and hands on management team is essential Remember that the suitability of an HMO depends on individual preferences and circumstances. Also the geography around city centres are important. Do your homework, more research and reading and as always please reach out if you need further advice.
