HMO Mortgage

An HMO is any property let to three or more tenants that form two or more households.

These products are aimed at professional landlords and landlords who are renting out each room on a separate tenancy agreement.

If you are looking for a mortgage on a multi-let basis where you have sharers on a single joint tenancy then the information will be found here.

We have access to a wide range of lenders for your next purchase or remortgage. Every lender has different rules on the type and size of HMO and we deal with them all.

We are advisers to a number of lenders and are regular contributors to the media in the HMO sector.
