Frequently asked questions
What documentation is required for a large HMO mortgage?
Applications typically require proof of income, several months of bank statements, credit reports, evidence of rental income potential, the HMO licence, building regulations and planning documentation, insurance documents, and copies of current lease agreements where the property is tenanted.
How much can I borrow with a large HMO mortgage?
The loan depends on the property's value, the projected rental income, the borrower's financial position, and the lender's policy. Lenders typically offer up to 75% of the property's value.
Are large HMO mortgages more expensive?
Large HMO mortgages tend to sit with commercial lenders, whose interest rates are slightly higher than standard HMO products. Their products usually deliver more value to a large HMO owner, including better valuation methods.
Will I need experience for a large HMO mortgage?
No: a large HMO mortgage is available without experience. However, a commercial lender offering an MV1 valuation will usually want good experience or, in our experience, personal income of at least £50,000, and without either the lending may be against a bricks and mortar valuation, which can affect the exit.
What are the common fees on a large HMO mortgage?
Common fees include arrangement fees, valuation fees, legal fees, and in some cases higher lending charges. Factor these into the total cost of the mortgage.
