Based

For Investors

Source. Design. Build. Let.

A fully integrated service that covers the entire HMO lifecycle. From acquisition through to refinance and long-term cashflow, everything is run to the same standards we apply to our management service.

Compliant, coordinated, and built to last.

Step One

Source

We identify strong HMO opportunities across on-market and off-market channels. Every property is assessed on fundamentals: layout potential, planning context, local demand, and exit strategy.

No deal packs. No inflated projections. Just clear analysis of what works and what does not.

  • On and off-market deal sourcing
  • Full due diligence and feasibility
  • Planning and licensing assessment
  • Realistic yield projections

Step Two

Design

Layouts are designed to make intelligent use of every square foot, maximising room numbers while meeting all relevant standards. Planning permission and licensing requirements are considered from the outset.

We know HMO policy well, and design schemes that are compliant and commercially viable.

  • Space-optimised room layouts
  • Planning application support
  • HMO licensing compliance built-in
  • Fire safety and building regs considered

Step Three

Build

Every build is fully project managed: contractor coordination, inspections, budgets, and timelines all handled centrally. No chasing. No surprises.

We deliver efficiently, moving cleanly through to refinance so capital can be released quickly and put back to work.

  • Full project management
  • Trusted contractor network
  • Budget and timeline control
  • Refinance-ready handover

Step Four

Let

Once complete, properties transition seamlessly into our lettings and management service. Tenants are placed quickly, compliance is maintained, and cashflow is established.

The asset is run properly from day one, with full visibility and ongoing accountability.

  • Professional tenant sourcing
  • Full property management
  • Ongoing compliance handled
  • Landlord portal access
