HMO Letting Done Right: Why Specialism Matters

HMOs demand far more than a standard rental. From licensing to fire safety and tenant coordination, the legal and logistical complexity can overwhelm even experienced landlords. That’s where we come in. General letting agents rarely understand the detail and nuance of HMO property management. Choosing a specialist HMO manager means:

Questions to Ask Before You Hire an HMO Manager

Your agent should be able to confidently answer:

  • What’s the difference between Grade A and Grade D alarms, and where is LD3 coverage required?
  • What’s the legal planning definition of an HMO, and what class does your property fall under?
  • How does Article 4 apply in your area, and what additional licensing schemes are in place?
  • What are the HHSRS and how do risk assessments differ between HMOs and family lets?
    If they can’t answer those – they shouldn’t be managing your HMO.
