Annual Income Comparison
The numbers that matter: what you actually take home
A landlord with a 6-bedroom HMO typically makes over £14,000 more in annual returns with AO than through a letting agent — even at a lower guaranteed room rate. The reason: we absorb every operating cost. Utilities, council tax, maintenance, certifications, furnishing, and all agency fees are removed entirely from the landlord.
Example: 6-bed HMO • Market £900/room (£64,800/yr) • AO guaranteed £700/room × 6 (£50,400/yr) • Annual figures based on our HMO model and industry averages for London & South East England.

Key Legal Advantage
No AST/APT. No Eviction Risk.
A commercial agreement.
HMO landlords face some of the most complex regulatory requirements in residential letting. Our model removes them. Our agreement with you is a commercial property lease, not a residential tenancy. The new tenancy laws do not apply. No Section 21 concerns. No periodic tenancy issues. No eviction law complications. We are specialists — and this structure is at the heart of everything we do.
Not an AST/APT or APT
Our contract with you is a commercial lease. Our agreements with occupants are not standard residential tenancies.
New Laws Don’t Apply
The Renters’ Rights Bill, Section 21 changes, and new eviction procedures do not affect your commercial agreement with us.
Thinking of Selling?
Before you sell, consider: our commercial arrangement lets you earn more income with zero tenancy law risk, while keeping your asset.
