WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Property types we actively acquire
HOUSES — SINGLE LETS
Any size property including terraced, semi-detached, and detached homes. Vacant properties or those becoming vacant within 6 months considered.
FLATS & STUDIOS
Self-contained flats and studio apartments accepted, including flats located above commercial premises.
HMOS
HMOs with a minimum of 4 letting rooms welcomed, with no maximum size. Licence must already be in place or currently in progress.
BLOCKS & PORTFOLIOS
We acquire blocks of self-contained units, multi-unit freeholds, and work closely with portfolio landlords.
PROPERTY CONDITION REQUIREMENTS
Compliance-first approach for every property
Properties must be compliant or capable of being made compliant
Properties should either already meet required standards or be capable of being upgraded to compliance. We assist throughout the process at no charge for the facilitation itself.
Landlords cover the cost of required works
The landlord remains responsible for the cost of bringing the property to a habitable and compliant standard. We can coordinate and facilitate all required works at cost, with no mark-up added.
AO covers enhanced compliance requirements
Any non-standard compliance requirements above statutory minimum standards — such as upgraded fire doors or enhanced fire detection systems — are covered by AO where applicable.
Free facilitation service
Our project coordination and compliance facilitation service is completely free. The only costs payable are the works themselves, charged at standard market rates.
COMMERCIAL LEASE ADVANTAGE
Our agreement with landlords operates under a commercial property lease rather than an AST/APT agreement. This means the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill and associated residential eviction procedure changes do not apply in the same way as traditional tenancies.
For landlords concerned about increasing regulation, extended possession timelines, or considering selling due to the changing rental landscape, AO provides a stable, hands-off alternative with long-term security and guaranteed rent.
Before making the decision to sell, speak with AO to explore whether your property could be a suitable fit for our model.

Property still tenanted?
We require vacant possession at the start of the lease agreement. However, if your property is currently occupied, we can still begin discussions, assess suitability, and agree terms up to 6 months before the property becomes vacant.
This allows landlords to plan ahead, secure guaranteed rent early, and avoid unnecessary void periods between tenancies.
Not sure if you qualify?
Every property is assessed on its own merits. Whether you own a single let, flat, HMO, mixed-use property, or portfolio, we’re happy to have an informal conversation and provide honest guidance.
There’s absolutely no obligation, just straightforward advice from our team on whether your property could be a good fit for the AO model.
