HMO Finance for Houses in Multiple Occupation
Whole-of-Market Access
Our Lending Partners
We work across leading UK banks, building societies and specialist lenders to source finance suited to your goals.
A house in multiple occupation (HMO) is a property let to several tenants who are not a single household, often with shared facilities. Lenders treat HMOs differently from standard buy-to-let property, and the options available can be more specialised. Hunter Capital helps landlords understand what may be available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether a property is an HMO depends on factors such as the number of tenants, their relationship and whether facilities are shared. Licensing rules can also apply. We can talk through your situation, though you should confirm the legal position with the relevant local authority.
Yes. Lenders often treat HMOs as a specialist category with their own criteria. This is one reason it helps to review the market rather than approach a single lender.
Some HMO finance is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We will explain the regulatory position for any option we discuss.
