Investing in a House in Multiple Occupation can be one of the most profitable strategies in the buy-to-let market—but securing the right HMO mortgage is essential for maximising returns and ensuring long-term success. HMOs are subject to specific UK licensing rules, planning considerations and lender criteria, having guidance from a specialist mortgage adviser can help you move through the process confidently and efficiently.
Access the Best HMO Mortgage Rates in the UK
Whether you're purchasing a new investment property or converting an existing property into a house in multiple occupation, finding the best HMO mortgage rates is key to maximising your rental income. HMO products in the UK can vary widely depending on the number of tenants, whether the property requires mandatory licensing, and your experience as a landlord. We compare specialist lenders across the UK market to help you secure competitive rates that suit your investment strategy.
Why Use a UK Specialist HMO Mortgage Broker?
Working with an experienced HMO mortgage broker gives you access to expert insight into UK-specific HMO requirements, including fire safety standards, minimum room sizes, Article 4 planning restrictions and local authority licensing rules. We understand how each lender assesses rental income, property layout and landlord experience, ensuring your application is presented in the strongest possible way.
Smart UK HMO Remortgage Solutions
If you're looking to improve cash flow, release capital for your next project, or switch away from a high-rate product, an HMO remortgage can provide valuable financial flexibility. Many UK landlords choose to remortgage after refurbishing or reconfiguring their property, particularly when increased rental yield makes the investment more attractive to specialist lenders. We help you explore your remortgage options and identify opportunities to reduce costs or unlock equity.
Wide Access to UK HMO Mortgage Lenders
Not all UK lenders offer HMO finance, and those that do often have strict criteria regarding tenant types, property layout, licensing and minimum rental income. Our network of specialist HMO mortgage lenders includes banks, building societies and niche buy-to-let lenders that understand complex multi-let properties. With access to products not always available on the high street, we match your application to the most suitable lenders to increase your chances of approval.

An HMO mortgage is a specialist type of buy-to-let loan designed for UK properties rented to multiple, unrelated tenants who share facilities such as kitchens or bathrooms. Because HMOs are considered higher-risk by lenders, criteria and rates differ from standard buy-to-let products.
Yes. Most UK lenders require a dedicated HMO buy-to-let mortgage due to the additional regulations and complexities involved. Licensing, fire safety measures and property layout can all influence eligibility.
The best HMO mortgage rates vary between specialist lenders and depend on factors such as landlord experience, rental income, property size and whether it is a mandatory-licensed HMO. Rates can be highly competitive, but securing the best deal usually requires comparing niche lenders that don’t appear on the high street.
Some lenders allow first-time landlords to apply for an HMO mortgage, but the selection is more limited. Many prefer applicants with existing buy-to-let experience. A specialist HMO mortgage broker can help identify lenders who will consider new investors.

HMO mortgage lenders typically review:
The more compliant and profitable the property appears, the stronger your chances of approval.
If the property meets the criteria for mandatory or additional licensing in your local authority, lenders will normally expect an HMO licence (or proof of pending application). A broker can advise on lender expectations based on your local council's rules.
