We work with a specific type of landlord. If you recognise yourself below, you’re in the right place.
You own a 5+ bedroom HMO in Birmingham or the Black Country and want professional, hands off management.
You're a first time HMO landlord converting a property and need experienced guidance from day one.
You're self managing and the workload, including compliance, tenants and admin, is becoming unmanageable.
You want your rooms filled faster, compliance handled and a reliable monthly income.
With more than seven years of experience managing larger HMOs, we focus on properties with five or more bedrooms and typically three or more bathrooms. Managing multiple tenancies, keeping rooms occupied and coordinating maintenance all require a structured approach. Our systems are built around these demands to help landlords manage their properties with confidence.

HMO Birmingham provides a complete property management service for landlords with five bedroom plus HMOs across Birmingham and the Black Country. Our aim is to take the burden of management entirely off your shoulders, so your property works as hard as it should.
At £900 per room in Birmingham, even two empty rooms for six weeks costs you over £2,700. Every day vacant is money gone.
West Midlands councils are actively scrutinising large HMOs. Licensing gaps, fire safety failures and missing documentation put your entire investment at risk.
Without the right systems, problem tenants cost months in legal fees, management time, and lost rent before resolution.
Standard letting agents aren’t equipped for large HMOs. You get general advice when you need specialist management.
Trying to run a Birmingham HMO remotely, chasing rent, coordinating maintenance, responding to tenants, becomes a full-time job you never signed up for.
Without clear financials and regular updates, you’re flying blind. Good management means you always know exactly what’s happening with your asset.
We don't manage standard rentals or commercial properties. Every process, tool and team member is focused on large HMOs, so everything we do is tuned to your specific needs.
We advertise your vacant rooms across multiple platforms, but we do not rely solely on them. Our direct leads pipeline and referral network mean quality tenants come to us without waiting on the portals. Fewer void days, more income for you.
Our HMO property management fee is 14% of rental income per month. We’ll discuss the scope of management and provide the applicable terms and charges before you decide to proceed, so you can make an informed decision about your property.
We've been managing large HMOs across Birmingham and Black Country since 2017. Our case studies show what happens when the right management takes over a struggling property.
The Renters’ Rights Act has changed how private tenancies work in England. If you own an HMO in Birmingham, you need to understand how the changes affect your tenancy arrangements, rent increases and the process for regaining possession. Here are the key changes and what they mean for managing your property.
Section 21 no longer exists. You cannot serve a no-fault eviction notice on your tenants. Evictions now require a legal ground and a court process. For HMO landlords with multiple tenants this increases your exposure significantly if tenancy management is weak.
All tenancies are now periodic. Tenants can give notice and leave with more flexibility. This means more potential movement between rooms and less predictability in your income. Strong tenant retention processes are no longer optional.
Rent increases must follow a strict legal process under Section 13. You cannot simply raise rents at renewal. Any increase must be justified and properly served. Poorly managed rent strategies will cost landlords money.
Property standards require landlords to maintain safe homes, respond to hazards promptly, and keep accurate maintenance records. Inspections, repair logs and compliance evidence help demonstrate good practice. Future changes may introduce additional requirements for the private rented sector, including HMOs.
If your property is being self-managed or handled by a general lettings agent, the risk of getting this wrong is high. Non-compliance is not just a fine. It is tenant disputes, legal costs, and damaged returns.
Professional HMO management is no longer just about filling rooms. It is about protecting your asset, staying compliant, and maintaining your income in a tougher legal environment.
A landlord owned a 32-room HMO in Bescot, Walsall, converted from a derelict hotel into four houses. Despite its potential, the property had low occupancy, ongoing maintenance problems, rent arrears of more than £10,000 and tenant management concerns.
When we took over, the property needed a coordinated plan to stabilise its day-to-day operations.
