Whether you’re an experienced HMO landlord or considering converting a traditional property, we offer a complete suite of services designed to streamline your operations and boost your returns.
1. Expert HMO Management for Existing Landlords.
For landlords already operating HMOs, we provide a comprehensive letting and management service that takes the hassle out of property ownership. Our experienced team handles everything from tenant sourcing and referencing to rent collection and maintenance coordination. We ensure your HMO complies with all relevant regulations, including licensing requirements and safety standards, giving you peace of mind and maximising your occupancy rates. We understand the specific needs of HMO tenants and provide a responsive, professional service that keeps your property running smoothly.
2. Understanding HMOs: Transform Your Property's Profitability.
What is an HMO, and how can it benefit you? A House in Multiple Occupation is a property rented out by at least three unrelated people who share facilities like a kitchen and bathroom. HMOs can significantly increase your rental yield compared to traditional single-family lets. By renting individual rooms, you can generate a higher overall income from the same property. We guide existing property owners through the process of understanding HMO regulations and assessing the suitability of their properties for conversion, highlighting the potential for increased profitability and long term gains.
3. Seamless HMO Conversion Service: Maximise Your Property's Potential.
If you’re looking to convert a traditional property into a profitable HMO, Smartmove Properties can help. Our conversion service handles every aspect of the process, from planning and design to building works and licensing applications. We work with experienced architects and builders to ensure your property meets all HMO standards and regulations. We can advise on everything from room layouts and fire safety measures to soundproofing and communal area design. We manage the entire project, ensuring a smooth and efficient conversion that delivers a high-quality, compliant HMO.
4. Comprehensive HMO Letting and Management: Streamlined Operations.
Whether you’ve converted an existing property or already own an HMO, our letting and management services provide a complete solution.
