Managing a house in multiple occupation, commonly known as an HMO, can involve considerably more responsibility than managing a standard rental property. From HMO licensing and safety requirements to tenant management, maintenance and ongoing compliance, the demands placed on landlords can be both complex and time consuming.

At Beresfords, our experienced lettings and property management teams can support HMO landlords throughout the entire process. Whether you are looking to purchase your first HMO investment, expand an existing property portfolio or require professional management of an HMO you already own, our service can include:

Our objective is to give HMO landlords confidence that their investment is being managed professionally and efficiently, with appropriate attention given to ongoing compliance.

By taking care of the day to day demands associated with managing an HMO, we can help landlords save valuable time, reduce unnecessary administration and protect the long-term performance of their property investment.

Whether you are investing in an HMO for the first time or looking to expand an established property portfolio, Beresfords can provide as much or as little support as you require.

Our experienced team can assist with the journey from sourcing a suitable HMO investment property through to finding tenants and providing a comprehensive ongoing property management service.

You may already own an HMO that is managed by another letting agent but feel that the service you receive no longer meets your expectations. Transferring the management of an HMO to Beresfords can be straightforward and, where required, our team can help manage much of the transfer process on your behalf.

HMO landlords need an experienced letting agent with the knowledge, resources and professional expertise required to manage more complex rental properties effectively.
