HMO Lettings Services

Managing and letting an HMO requires far more than a standard rental approach. With stricter regulations, local licensing schemes, and ongoing compliance requirements, choosing the right agent has never been more important.

At Northeast Property, we provide a specialist HMO lettings service designed to protect your investment, maximise occupancy, and ensure your property is fully compliant at every stage. We treat every HMO as if it were our own with hands-on management, careful tenant selection, and proactive oversight

Our HMO Lettings Approach

We understand the complexities of HMO properties across the North East, including local council licensing, Article 4 areas, and evolving legislation. Our service is built around reducing risk, maintaining standards, and creating stable, well-managed homes.

From initial advice to tenant placement and ongoing support, we guide you through the process clearly and professionally.

What’s Included in Our HMO Lettings Service

• Accurate room-by-room rental valuations based on local demand

• Advice on HMO licensing requirements and local authority standards

• Marketing of individual rooms to the correct tenant demographic

• Professional handling of enquiries and viewings

• Thorough tenant referencing, affordability checks, and Right to Rent compliance

• Careful tenant selection to support long-term occupancy and compatibility

• Preparation of compliant tenancy agreements

• Collection of first month’s rent and deposits

• Registration of deposits with a government-approved scheme

• Clear communication with landlords throughout the letting process

• Compliance & Changing Legislation

  HMO legislation continues to change, with increased enforcement and higher penalties for non-compliance. We help landlords stay ahead of these changes by ensuring properties are set up correctly from day one.

  This includes guidance around:

  • HMO licensing conditions

  • Fire safety and amenity standards

  • Occupancy limits

  • Ongoing legal responsibilities

  Our knowledge of local council requirements across Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland, and South Tyneside allows us to offer practical, location-specific advice — not generic guidance.

  Why Tenant Selection Matters

  In HMOs, the quality of tenants is just as important as the property itself. Poor tenant selection can quickly lead to arrears, complaints, and property damage.

  We take a careful, considered approach to tenant placement, focusing on:

  • Affordability and stability

  • Suitability for shared living

  • Long-term sustainability of the household

  This helps create a more settled environment, reduces turnover, and protects your asset.

  Who Our HMO Service Is For

  • First-time HMO landlords

  • Experienced investors with single or multiple HMOs

  • Landlords converting properties into HMOs

  • Owners looking to improve standards and occupancy

  Whether you’re managing a small shared house or a larger licensed HMO, we provide a service built around clarity, compliance, and care.
