HMO & Student Let Management
Optimize your HMO and student properties with our expert management services. We handle tenant sourcing, lease agreements, and compliance, ensuring smooth operation and maximum returns for your investment.
HMO Management Specialists
Managing Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and student rental properties involves significantly more complexity than traditional single-let properties. These properties are subject to rigorous regulations and safety standards, including licensing requirements, fire safety measures, and health and safety compliance that are unique to HMOs and student accommodations. Additionally, the presence of multiple tenants introduces challenges such as coordinating shared facilities, addressing diverse tenant needs, and managing frequent turnover.
The legislative landscape is also more intricate, with specific rules governing everything from tenancy agreements to deposit protection and energy performance standards. These complexities require an expert approach to ensure compliance and effective management. Our team specializes in navigating these multifaceted requirements, offering tailored solutions to manage your property efficiently and protect your investment while delivering a high standard of service to your tenants.
Simple Student Lettings
Our student lettings service focuses on the high-demand rental markets around key universities, including Durham University, Newcastle University, Northumbria University, Teesside University, and the University of Sunderland. We cater to the unique needs of student tenants and offer customised solutions to ensure a smooth renting experience. Whether it’s finding the perfect property, managing leases, or addressing tenant needs, our expertise ensures your property thrives in these competitive areas. Leverage our deep understanding of the local rental market and our commitment to exceptional service for both landlords and students.
Licensing & Compliance Experts
Navigating the regulatory landscape for rental properties can be complex, especially for student lets and HMOs. Our team specialises in ensuring that your properties meet all necessary licensing and compliance requirements. We stay up-to-date with the latest legislation and local regulations to ensure your property adheres to all legal standards, including safety certifications, licensing obligations, and tenancy regulations.
From obtaining the required licences to conducting regular compliance checks, we manage all aspects to keep your property fully compliant. Trust our expertise to safeguard your investment and provide peace of mind, knowing that your property meets all regulatory requirements.
