Comprehensive guidance on HMO properties in London from Fraser Bond, providing professional lettings, compliance support, property management, and investment advisory for landlords and investors in multi-occupancy properties.
Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) are a key segment of the London rental market, offering high rental yields and strong tenant demand. However, HMOs come with increased regulatory requirements, operational complexity, and higher risk exposure than standard buy-to-let properties.
Fraser Bond delivers end-to-end HMO London services, including compliance-led management, specialist lettings, tenant sourcing, and strategic investment advice to help landlords and investors optimise income and maintain regulatory alignment.
