Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMO’s) as a Buy to Let Investment
Buying a property suitable for multiple occupancy or buying and converting a house to multiple occupancy can offer a great way to increase your rental yield and spread the risk across more tenants.
It is most suited to older properties that are generally larger (with larger rooms) and located in major towns and cities. Victorian semis or town houses often work best as they have at least two reception rooms and are spacious though conversion costs are likely to be higher for an HMO than a single household property. HMO’s are also a suitable investment for student letting (Student Accommodation).
