Full HMO and BTL Management That Maximises Profit & Removes Stress

Our full management fee is 12% for an HMO and 9% for a single let. Tenant finding and vetting is £250 for a single let, or from £150 per room for an HMO. Monthly accounting is an optional £50 a month, which includes a profit and loss report for each property plus the annual HMRC and Companies House filings. We add no markup at all to repairs — many agents add up to 15% — and a guaranteed rent scheme is available instead of a management fee if you would rather have a fixed monthly figure.

Tenant finding and vetting, rent collection, all compliance and licensing work, maintenance through our own in-house team, and direct handling of the internet, water, gas, electricity and council tax accounts. You also get a quarterly health check covering more than 30 points on the property. If you take the optional accounting service, you receive a monthly profit and loss report for each property and the annual HMRC and Companies House reports.

On a management fee you receive the actual rent collected, less our 12% for an HMO or 9% for a single let, so your income moves with occupancy. On a guaranteed rent scheme you receive a fixed monthly amount whether the rooms are full or not, and we carry the void risk. The fee model usually pays more over a full year on a well-let property; the guaranteed scheme pays less but is predictable. Both are available.

A Gas Safe certificate annually, PAT testing annually, a fire risk assessment every three years, and an Electrical Installation Condition Report every five years — or every three, depending on the property. Council licences run five-yearly for HMOs and three-yearly for buy-to-lets. We handle the whole schedule as part of management, and add a quarterly health check of our own covering over 30 points, so an unannounced council inspection finds nothing outstanding.

No. You pay the supplier invoice as it is. Many management companies add up to 15% to every repair, which quietly makes maintenance a profit centre for the agent rather than a cost to be controlled. We run our own maintenance team and use certified suppliers, and tenants log repairs directly into our job ticketing system so the work is dispatched immediately rather than sitting in an inbox.

Mandatory licensing applies across England to any HMO occupied by five or more people forming two or more households. Below that threshold it depends on the council: Liverpool and the Wirral have operated additional and selective licensing schemes covering smaller HMOs and ordinary rentals in designated areas, and the boundaries change. We check what applies to your specific address and apply on your behalf — the application fee itself is not included in our fee.

Yes. A large part of our investor base is overseas, and the service is built so the owner never needs to be in the country: we deal with the utility and council tax accounts directly, tenants report repairs into our system rather than to you, and the optional accounting service produces a monthly profit and loss report for each property along with the annual HMRC and Companies House filings. We work in English and Spanish.

One. We manage single properties and full portfolios on the same terms and with the same process — the systems do not work differently for a first-time landlord with one three-bed than for an owner with a dozen HMOs.
