HMO’s have become a bit of a buzzword, and it seems like all investors want to have a HMO in their portfolio right now, in fact EVERY week we are receiving calls and enquiries from investors (usually in London) wanting to buy a HMO with cash ready...

So what does this mean exactly?

It’s hard to say, but we have certainly noticed, more and more HMO property becoming available in Coventry, and one of the matrix we use to measure the value of HMO’s has become skewed, with now over 800 rooms available in Coventry alone, marketed on Spareroom, which is certainly the highest number we have ever seen, especially when you compare it to the fact that the whole of Birmingham only has just over 1,000...

So as per supply and demand, if you were thinking of “offloading” one of your HMO properties, now might be a good time...

Our in house expert in HMO acquisitions and sales in Coventry, Lisa, is launching a specialist HMO sales service, especially for HMO landlords, utilising the high number of enquiries we are receiving (one of the benefits of being number one on Google for most Coventry HMO service search terms) and putting the two together.

The service will initially be very 1-2-1 due to the complexity of HMO sales, and in particular valuations, and the service will be very focused on the individual HMO, and who would be a suitable buyer etc, and of course, involve specialist mortgage brokers/surveyors etc

So if you have a HMO that you would like to sell, please enter your details [HERE] and Lisa will be in contact with you to discuss more.
