HMO Properties, An Investors Dream

For many students, at this time of year, as well as exams, thoughts turn to their housing situation for the following term.

Many who choose not to stay in student halls find themselves on the hunt for an HMO (house of multiple occupancy) property where they can share the property and costs with other students.

Currently there are simply not enough HMOs to meet demand. At Cairn, we’ve instances where we’ve had students waiting at the office door for opening to try and arrange accommodation for next term.

For investors, HMOs are a great investment. You’re pretty much guaranteed tenants all year round and healthy profits can be made from them too.

To give an example, last week we listed an HMO property, with four bedrooms, in Edinburgh. The advert for the property went online at 3.30 on Friday afternoon and by midday on Monday we had a list of 18 groups of four people waiting to view the property.

Buying to let, especially near colleges and universities really is a sound investment and one we’d advise any investor to seriously consider.
