Welcome to The HMO Manager
What is an HMO and do I need a license?
A property known as a ‘House in Multiple Occupation’ (HMO) is a property, whether it be a house, flat or student accommodation shared by individuals or families whom have individual tenancy agreements and do not form part of the same household.
Any property that is occupied by five or more people, or forming two or more households, that share the communal facilities such as bathrooms, kitchens etc will need to apply for an HMO license from the local council for that area.
There is a specific criteria in which a property needs to meet in order for the property to pass the local councils amenity standards and regulations, this can be different for any local council, however the main areas are fire safety, room sizing, electrical safety, and the communal area space being offered.
The HMO Manager understands that gathering all the required information, and ensuring the property is meeting the required standards can be quite a daunting task. This is where The HMO Manager comes in, we can offer a variety of services to assist you from surveying the property,
providing you a report of what actions are needing to be done, to submitting the HMO application on your behalf and sending all necessary documentation to the local council.
