Houses of Multiple Occupancy

Whether it’s a small or a large HMO, we will work to provide a fuss-free solution that’s just right.

Our HMO products are available to both individuals and corporate borrowers, whether for purchase or a re-mortgage. The maximum loan size is £1.5 million and depending upon the HMO size, we lend up to 80% LTV.

Product fees can be added to the loan over and above the maximum loan limits and we will even manually underwrite those cases that require a little more flexibility.
