What is an HMO?

To put it simply, a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is any residential rental property in which three or more unrelated tenants live, forming more than a single household.

Student share facilities, professional house-shares, temporary holiday lets, lodging houses and B&Bs are some of the common examples of HMOs.

HMO Finance and Licensing

It’s a common perception that for any HMO to secure a significant mortgage, it needs to have a licence to operate as such by the local council. While true to some extent, this isn’t a norm or a rule that applies in all instances. There are quite a few HMOs that simply don’t require a licence, and simply being registered with the local council is enough to secure a suitable multi-let mortgage.

At Commercial Finance Network, we’ve helped hundreds of landlords, developers and investors secure affordable HMO mortgages for their licenced as well as non-licenced HMO units.

HMO Mortgages to Power Your Dream HMO Projects

HMO mortgages are not just useful, they are often a necessity to bear the costs involved in an invariably expensive HMO project.

  • Build-to-let mortgages help developers develop HMO projects from the ground up.
  • Buy-to-let mortgages help investors purchase operational HMOs and sustain profitability.
  • HMO conversion mortgages (multi-let mortgages for conversion) help landlords convert their houses/properties into operational HMOs.

Go with the Best HMO Finance Broker

HMOs, even though often highly profitable ventures, aren’t the easiest to finance. Much the reason why, many HMO developers and landlords find it difficult to approach conventional lenders such as banks and for buy-to-let mortgages or HMO conversion mortgages.

That, however, shouldn’t mean that it’s impossible to get an HMO finance package. At Commercial Finance Network, we have access to the whole of market lenders. This allows to us to ensure we find just the right HMO finance package for your project.

HMO Valuation – A Critical Step

Every mortgage needs to be backed by a strong security. So, if you are planning on getting an HMO mortgage, the valuation of your property is what will ultimately determine how much you can borrow against it. Commercial Finance Network, working with responsible, whole of market lenders, ensures that your HMO project is valued fairly.

As HMO valuations go, there are two major types, Brick and Mortar Valuation (Buildings Valuation) and Commercial Valuation (Business Valuation).

Brick and Mortar Valuation

This is the most common form of HMO valuation and applies to almost every HMO project. In this type of valuation, the valuator assesses the following:

  • Size of the property
  • Structure of the property
  • Available infrastructure
  • Potential infrastructure
  • Location

While some of these parameters are subjective, others are usually assessed by the valuator quantitatively to arrive at a suitable valuation. The buy-to-let mortgage, build-to-let mortgage or conversion mortgage you’ll secure will be in proportion of this valuation, depending upon the LTV percentage.

Commercial Valuation

As far as HMOs are concerned, this is a less comment method of valuation, but yet becoming increasing popular. As the name suggests, Commercial Valuation is usually reserved to valuate businesses with an established revenue stream. Therefore, if you wish to have your HMO valued as a business, Commercial Valuation can be the way forward. It should, however, be noted that for Small HMOs Commercial Valuation usually results into a smaller mortgage amount than Brick and Mortar Valuation. On the other hand, Large HMOs can benefit from Commercial Valuation if they want to take a multi-let mortgage for minor refurbishments.

HMO experts at Commercial Finance Network guide you through the valuation process to help you decide which method would be best suited to your particular project and ensure you align with the suitable HMO finance package for your requirements.
