An HMO is a property rented to three or more people who are not from the same household and who share facilities such as a kitchen or bathroom. Most three-bedroom-plus properties in Portsmouth can work as an HMO, though licensing requirements vary by size and location. Send us the address and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.

We agree a fixed monthly figure with you and pay it every month for the length of the agreement, whether the property is fully let, partly let or empty. The void risk sits with us, not with you.

You remain the licence holder as the owner, but we handle the application, the paperwork, the inspections and the ongoing compliance. You will not be chasing the council.

We cover day-to-day management and minor repairs up to an agreed amount per incident. Structural work and major items remain the landlord's responsibility, and we'll always come to you with quotes before anything is booked.

No. No commission, no agency fee, no administration fee, no renewal fee. Our income comes from the difference between the rent we pay you and the rent we achieve.

Rent covers your room, use of all shared spaces, and typically bills and internet. We'll confirm exactly what is included before you sign anything.

Message us with what you're looking for, we'll show you what's available, and we'll book you a viewing at a time that works. If it's right, we'll get the agreement over and get you moved in.
