A ‘House in Multiple Occupation’ (HMO) is a widely used commercial letting option that is increasing popular with property developers, property owners and tenants alike. As recent upheavals in the UK economy, along with reduced housing benefits, start impacting at the ground level, experts believe that HMOs will only continue to rise over the coming years.

Therefore it’s naturally understandable that both landlords and property investors are interested in maximising the potential from this market sector, whilst equally playing their part in offering good quality and affordable housing to tenants. An HMO finance package is much-needed to help your new HMO development project materialise or to refinance your HMO project with a more affordable deal once refurbishment / conversion works have been completed.

What is an HMO? Who Qualifies for an HMO Finance Package?

A property is considered to be a House in Multiple Occupancy (HMO) if:

“Three or more unrelated persons occupy the property with self-contained rooms and shared communal facilities (such as bathrooms, kitchen etc.)”

At Commercial Finance Network, we cover all sizes and types of HMO properties as far as HMO financing is concerned. Some typical examples include:

  • A shared house with one or more ASTs
  • Houses converted into self-contained bedsits
  • Student halls or student house-shares
  • Lodging houses
  • Houses converted into B&Bs
  • Shared flats
  • Purpose built blocks with multiple self-contained units

With continued changes to HMO legislation and the ongoing tightening of the HMO licensing specifications both nationally and by local authorities, Landlords are finding that more and more HMOs are now requiring a license in which to operate legally.

We work with numerous specialist HMO Lenders who offer finance to both licensed and unlicensed HMOs so long as the appropriate local amenity standards are adhered to and the premies are naturally operating lawfully.

Mandatory HMO Licensing

With new regulations now in place since 1st October 2018, an HMO now project requires a mandatory licence only if:

  • More than 5 unrelated persons occupy the property

The new changes now mean that ALL HMOs requiring a license if  they have 5 or more unrelated persons occupying the property, regardless of how many storeys the property contains.

Why Use HMO Finance?

Private HMO finance is a popular option with HMO owners as getting a bank or a mainstream lender with ultra-conservative lending parameters to offer an HMO mortgage is rather difficult, since it is a very specialist product and one rarely understood by most mainstream lenders.

HMO finance packages are typically used to develop commercial build-to-let HMO units from the ground-up. They are also used to refurbish existing HMO units in order to install the necessary fire protection systems or possibly add extra rooms etc. Additionally, a common reason for seeking specialist HMO Finance is to refinance some existing short-term sources of finance to provide a longer term source of finance &/or to save on high rates of interest.

Whatever your particular requirements may be, you can count on us to find the best HMO lender for you so that your investment in an HMO project realises excellent returns for you.
