Why Convert Your Property into an HMO?

HMO conversions are an increasingly popular investment strategy, offering multiple income streams from a single property. Whether you own a large family home, semi-detached house, or are planning an extension or loft conversion, converting to an HMO can yield significant benefits:

📈 Higher rental yields than standard buy-to-let

🏘️ Multiple tenants, lower overall risk

💰 Improved return on investment (ROI)

🧱 Add value to your property with structural improvements

🏠 Meet growing rental demand in university and urban areas

According to PropertyData, HMO properties can generate yields of 7–10% or more, compared to 4–5% for standard rentals.

What is an HMO?

A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property rented out by three or more people from different households who share communal facilities like kitchens and bathrooms. In most cases, a license is required from your local authority. HMO licensing regulations vary, but safety, layout, and compliance are critical.

At Velaris Property, we’re experienced in:

3-5 bedroom HMOs

Large HMOs (6+ tenants)
