How to choose the best neighborhood for an
HMO? HMOs often attract tenants with lower
incomes and younger people. Things like easy
access to public transport and being close enough
to amenities to walk to are often important to
them. Most people who live in HMOs don't have
school-aged kids, so school catchment areas
aren't usually a big deal. Students may live in
HMOs, though, so being close to school may be
important. Is there a need for more rooms in
HMOs? If there are already HMOs in the area, it
may be a sign that more are needed. But also
look at the current levels of supply and demand.
Even if they don't rent out this kind of place
themselves, local letting agents can often tell
you how popular it is. Local sites for classified
ads and room share or flat share can be used to
find out what kinds of HMO rooms are already
available and how much they cost. How do HMOs
fit into the local planning scheme? Some local
governments have Article 4 directions, which say
that you need a planning permit to build a new
HMO in part or all of their area. If so, they
will usually say what criteria they will use to
decide whether or not to allow planning. What
kinds of HMO licenses are needed? Most HMO
property need a license, but it depends on how
big, what kind, and where your HMO is. Some
areas have extra licensing requirements or even
selective licensing requirements, which mean that
all rental properties must be licensed. There
are both national rules that apply to all HMO
licensing programmes and local rules that each
local council applies to their own HMO licensing
programmes. How to choose the best house for an

Not every house can be turned into an HMO. Check
to see if the space and layout will work for a
shared room. Think about how you can best use
the space to get the most out of it. For example,
you might get the most money back if you buy a
three-bedroom house with two living rooms and
turn it into a house with four bedrooms and a
shared living room. Are the rooms big
enough? Local licensing rules set the minimum
size of rooms that can be used as bedrooms.
Check to see if the property you want to buy will
meet the rules. Keep in mind that properties
that are bigger than the minimum size and have
rooms that are better located or better equipped
may be easier to rent out and bring in more
rent. Is there enough space for people to
meet? Local licensing rules say how many
bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, and other shared
spaces your HMO needs based on how many people
live there. Again, keep in mind that properties
with nicer common areas or amenities like
bathrooms in the suite may be easier to rent out
and bring in more rent. Is the house good
enough to turn into an HMO? As required by the
HMO license conditions, think about things like
independent access to the rental rooms, enough
natural light, and a way out in case of
fire. Property managers of HMO management
companies can help you find a good home by
location, size, and price range. It can also tell
you how much local properties cost and even show
you which ones have been reduced recently, so
you can find the best deal. Resources Link-
