HMO Services Across the UK - Professional Management, Licensing, and Lettings

Fraser Bond’s expert guide to HMO services across the UK, offering professional management, compliance, lettings, and investment advisory for landlords and property investors.

Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) are a high-demand rental solution throughout the UK, particularly in major cities such as London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds. HMOs offer landlords the potential for higher rental yields compared to traditional single-let properties, but they also come with additional responsibilities, including licensing, safety compliance, and tenant management.

Fraser Bond provides nationwide HMO services, ensuring landlords and investors remain compliant while maximising rental performance and long-term asset value.

HMO Licensing & Compliance Across the UK

HMO licensing is regulated locally by each council, and the requirements vary depending on the property size, location, and number of occupants. Key compliance obligations include:

• Obtaining valid HMO licences where required

• Ensuring fire safety compliance (fire doors, alarms, emergency lighting)

• Meeting minimum room size and shared amenity standards

• Maintaining up-to-date Gas Safety Certificates, Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR), and EPC ratings

• Protecting tenant deposits under approved schemes

Fraser Bond offers HMO licence application support and compliance audits across the UK, helping landlords meet all legal obligations and reduce risk of enforcement action.

HMO Lettings & Tenant Management

Professional management of HMOs ensures high occupancy and rental income stability. Fraser Bond’s UK-wide services include:

• Marketing individual HMO rooms effectively

• Tenant referencing and right-to-rent checks

• Tenancy agreement preparation and renewals

• Rent collection and arrears management

• Handling tenant enquiries and dispute resolution

• Coordinating repairs and maintenance

Structured HMO management maximises landlord returns while ensuring tenant safety and satisfaction.

HMO Maintenance & Operational Oversight
