An HMO property is a “house of multiple occupants”, for example, the type you’d see commonplace with students.

Although HMO investment carries some risks that a simple BTL investment perhaps would not – there are numerous advantages that attract people to investing in HMO’s. For example:

• Rental yields are high.
• Fewer void periods – as if one tenant leaves, there are multiple occupants to cover the loss and keep providing a profit.
• The demand for shared living accommodation tends to remain strong against economic change and uncertainty, due to people looking for affordable rooms to rent.
