Before working with Pete at the Astute Landlord, I was finding my finances in a bit of a mess due to bad bookkeeping previously. Pete managed to quickly identify the source of the problems I was experiencing, re-organised things in my accounting software and put effective systems in place to solve these problems, which has saved me both time and money moving forward.

A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property rented out by at least 3 people who are from 2 ‘households’ but share facilities like the bathroom and kitchen. It’s sometimes referred to as a "shared houses" or “bedsits”.
The main HMO tenant categories are:
1.Young professionals
2.Students
3.Tenants on benefits
A mandatory licence – sometimes called an HMO licence – is needed for any HMO which comprises five or more persons. It is an offence to operate a licensable HMO without having submitted a valid licence application. Failure to obtain can lead to prosecution in the magistrates court (potentially unlimited fine) or Civil penalty notices of up to £30,000 per offence.
A landlord must have a licence if the following apply:
•it is rented to 5 or more people who form 2 or more households
•some or all tenants share toilet, bathroom or kitchen facilities
Even if the property is smaller and rented to fewer people, a licence may be required depending on local requirements. This is known as Additional Licensing.
