HMO Property Management
Exceptional HMO Property Management in The West Midlands
Managing houses in multiple occupancies involves more work compared to other types of properties, requiring expertise in handling multiple tenancy agreements and rent collection. While self-managing your property may seem cost-effective, the significant time and effort required to ensure effective supervision of various aspects of a rental property, including marketing, finances, technical details, and operations, can become overwhelming.
With Prem Property, you can trust us to provide comprehensive HMO property management, ensuring efficient management that yields profits, saves time, and offers peace of mind. We specialize in the management of professional HMO properties, focusing on coliving spaces. Our approach emphasizes creating communal communities where tenants collaborate and make friends, not just live together. We offer exclusive end-to-end services to ensure your property investments are fully compliant with HMO regulations.
​
If your property is in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, or the surrounding areas of the West Midlands, our HMO property management services go beyond ensuring profitability. We are dedicated to protecting both landlord and renter rights, adapting our practices to comply with regulations, and ensuring a mutually beneficial environment for both parties.
What is an HMO?
Houses shared by three or more people are known as HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation). Typically, residents of HMOs share amenities like bathrooms, kitchens, and toilets, while maintaining separate households. These accommodations are commonly used for students, professionals, or other individuals who aren't part of a traditional family unit.
​
Due to their shared nature, HMOs are subject to specific requirements and regulations, such as HMO licenses aimed at ensuring the well-being of their occupants. These regulations often encompass guidelines for fire safety and maintenance.
The Workload in HMO Property Management
Here are some key aspects that we will work on for you, enabling you to efficiently manage your HMO rental property:
Room Rental Assessment
Evaluate each room's rental value to maximize your HMO's profit.
Reducing Risks through Effective Tenant Screening
Conduct background checks, verify rental histories and references, and assess the credit, financial, and criminal histories of potential tenants.
Smooth Transition from Screening to Move-In and Onboarding Process
Efficiently manage tenancy applications and documentation, handle Assured Shorthold Tenancies (ASTs), and ensure compliance with legal requirements for deposit protection.
Diligent Rental Collection and Rent Arrears Management
Ensure efficient rent collection with transparent monthly financial reports. Proactively manage rent arrears, sending notices, and escalating legal actions when necessary.
Regular Property Inspections to Ensure Property is Well Maintained
Prem Property maintains property value by performing routine property inspections, particularly in HMOs since the property is shared by a number of residents. We coordinate repairs and maintenance with trusted service providers while keeping landlords informed through detailed financial and property monthly reports.
Emergency Call Outs
Provide 24-hour availability for addressing any property emergencies.
Adhering to UK Compliance and Regulations
Ensure property compliance with all UK regulations, including applications, testing, and certification. Conduct regular inspections to maintain compliance with HMO guidelines and provide annual certifications.
Creating a Safe Space for Tenant Welfare
Handle tenant disputes and conflicts professionally, offering landlords peace of mind in managing stressful scenarios.
Managing HMOs can be highly demanding due to the extensive range of responsibilities involved. That is why, among all types of rental properties, HMO properties have consistently been entrusted to property management companies or property managers. Ensuring operational efficiency for landlords is crucial, but equally important is prioritising the safety of the property and tenants.
​
These responsibilities go beyond what's mentioned above, potentially taking away the initial purpose of investing in HMO rental property for passive income. The extensive time commitment involved can lead to burnout. However, there are more efficient approaches available, including relying on professionals who have the necessary knowledge, skills, and expertise in managing HMO properties in the West Midlands.
