What is an HMO?
A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property lived in by 3 or more unrelated people who share facilities like a kitchen or bathroom. In Aberdeen, you must hold an HMO licence from Aberdeen City Council before letting an HMO.
Higher Rental Yields
HMO properties typically generate 30-50% more rental income than a standard let, as each room is let individually. A 3-bedroom property let as an HMO can yield significantly more than the same property let to a single household.
Strong Demand in Aberdeen
With two universities and a large professional population, demand for room lets is consistently high in areas like Old Aberdeen, Rosemount, and the city centre.
Licensing Requirements
HMO licensing involves meeting specific standards for room sizes, facilities, fire safety, and management. We have extensive experience managing HMO properties and can assist with the application and compliance process.
Increased Management
HMOs require more active management — multiple tenancies, more wear and tear, and stricter compliance. Our full management service is ideal for HMO landlords, handling everything so you don’t have to.
