HMO Management: Your Hands-Off Path to High-Yield Returns
At HMO Investment, we understand that unlocking superior returns from your property portfolio means more than just a smart acquisition; it requires expert, proactive management. Our comprehensive HMO Management service is designed to deliver precisely that: high occupancy, maximised income, and complete peace of mind for private landlords, property investment groups, and multi-property landlords.
With over 500 HMOs under our management in the last 10 years, we offer unparalleled expertise. We handle every aspect of property management, ensuring your HMO operates at peak efficiency, allowing you to enjoy the financial benefits without the day-to-day burden.
Complete HMO Management
Why Professional HMO Management is Key to Your ROI
While HMOs offer higher yields, they also involve more active management due to multiple tenancies. Our professional service alleviates this burden, ensuring your investment consistently delivers its full potential.
Maximised Revenue & Occupancy
Our proven strategies consistently generate higher revenue than what individual landlords typically achieve. We’re experts at running properties with maximum efficiency, without compromising living standards or legal compliance. We actively source and retain quality residents, aiming for up to 97% occupancy across our portfolio, significantly boosting your net yield.
Flexible Management Contracts
We understand that every property and landlord’s circumstances are unique. That’s why we offer several flexible contract options, allowing you to choose the most suitable model for your individual investment strategy:
- Guaranteed Monthly Rent: Enjoy complete peace of mind with a fixed rent payment every single month, regardless of occupancy. This offers ultimate predictability for your income.
- Guaranteed Base Rent Plus Profit Share: We partner with you, working collaboratively to achieve even higher gains and sharing in the enhanced profitability.
- Traditional Management: A standard management fee is paid as a percentage of the collected rent, offering a clear and conventional management structure.
Our fees are individually negotiated for each property, ensuring a fair agreement. We also include contractual CPI rent increases and provide the option to switch payment models annually.
Proactive Maintenance & Cost Efficiency
We manage everything, from ensuring legal compliance to fixing a leaky pipe. Say goodbye to tenant calls and maintenance headaches! Our dedicated in-house maintenance team is employed on a fixed salary, meaning you’ll typically pay approximately 40% less for trade call-outs compared to external contractors.
We conduct fortnightly property checks and cleaning, ensuring early detection of defects which often results in lower long-term maintenance costs. Annual preventative maintenance, like boiler services and gas safety checks, keeps your property in excellent order. For basic wear and tear, our full-time staff attends to issues promptly. For larger works, we provide competitive in-house quotes alongside third-party options, and arrange all access and supervision.
Seamless Tenant Sourcing & Care
During the tenancy, we become entirely responsible for your property. This includes expertly sourcing high-quality residents, ensuring they are happy in their homes, and diligently collecting all rental payments. Our premium house shares are designed to appeal to professional tenants, primarily in their mid-20s and 30s.
We meticulously match like-minded individuals to foster a welcoming and friendly home environment. Residents enjoy simplified living with just one monthly bill covering all costs. We set optimal limits on resident numbers, balancing ROI with liveability and legal requirements. Our strong relationships with companies and recruiters, plus high resident referrals, ensure a consistent pipeline of quality tenants.
Transparent Reporting & Inspections
We conduct formal inspections every six months, sending a professional report directly to you. Our staff also performs informal inspections every time they visit a property. If you wish, we can arrange for you to periodically inspect the property yourself.
We handle all resident incidents, from lock-outs to general queries, acting as the primary point of contact and ensuring you have zero liability while enjoying maximum ROI.
All Inclusive Rent
One of the biggest issues you’ll face with individual room lets is that the tenants will expect to pay an all-inclusive rent. As a landlord you will have to cover gas, electricity, water, council tax and internet charges. The issue is the gas and electricity usage, which you should estimate and include to the rent, but not that it will massively fluctuate throughout the year, it is very difficult to control or avoid over-usage.
When the heating is running when nobody’s home, and the lights are switched on all the time it can seriously eat into your margins or even wipe it out entirely.
With our experience of managing over 500 HMO’s in the last decade we worked out the only possible solution for this problem, and if you instruct us to manage your HMO we will guarantee that the estimated usage calculated into the rent will stay as such, lower or even but never overused.
This is one of the reasons we claim that the fees we charge will actually pay for themselves.
