HMO Investment

Long-term investment solution

The North East is a highly lucrative and growing market for high-quality HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation). At Clarice Carr & Co, we manage every aspect of your HMO investment to provide a realistic picture of potential returns and ensure a seamless process from sourcing to completion and ongoing management.

 

HMOs offer strong rental income and yield potential, often outperforming traditional buy-to-let properties. For instance, a three-bedroom buy-to-let property generating £12,600 in annual rent can achieve significantly higher returns when converted into a five-bedroom HMO, generating £34,800 in annual rent.

 

With demand for affordable, high-quality shared living spaces on the rise, particularly among young professionals and students, the HMO market presents a compelling investment opportunity. Our expertise and experience can help you navigate this market and maximise your investment returns.
