We work with a specific type of landlord. If you recognise yourself below, you’re in the right place.
You own a 5+ bedroom HMO in Birmingham and want professional, hands-off management.
You're a first-time HMO landlord converting a property and need experienced guidance from day one.
You’re self-managing and the workload, including compliance, tenants and admin, is becoming unmanageable.
You want your rooms filled faster, compliance handled and a reliable monthly income.
From years of experience and market research, we have found that the best-performing HMO properties are those with 5+ bedrooms and 3+ bathrooms. These properties consistently generate the highest rental income for landlords and attract the most reliable professional tenants. This is why our entire system is built exclusively around this property type.
HMO Birmingham is a specialist brand from the team at Prem Property, with more than seven years of experience managing large HMOs across the West Midlands and London. We have built our reputation on results, consistently high occupancy, compliant properties and landlords who trust us to get on with the job.
We work exclusively with five-bedroom-plus properties and are well established, managing some of the largest HMOs in the region, including a 32-bedroom all en-suite HMO in Walsall, West Midlands. This focus means we are exceptionally well-versed in the specific demands of large HMOs, from multi-tenancy dynamics and licensing conditions to maximising room rates in the London and Birmingham markets.
We are not a typical high street estate agent. We specialise in the management of large HMOs, and that specialism is reflected in everything we do. Over 200 tenancies managed across our portfolio speaks for itself.
Our fee is 12% of rental income. That is it. No hidden charges, no surprises. We do apply a 10% markup on maintenance works, so if a contractor charges £100, you will be invoiced £110. This covers coordination, oversight and ensuring the work meets our standards. We believe in keeping things simple and transparent, because that is how good long-term relationships are built.
Our systems are built on modern property technology, automated communications, digital lead tracking, and a structured onboarding process, so nothing falls through the cracks. We are organised so you do not have to be.
HMO Birmingham provides a complete property management service for landlords with five-bedroom-plus HMOs across the capital. Our aim is to take the burden of management entirely off your shoulders, so your property works as hard as it should.
At £900 per room in Birmingham, even two empty rooms for six weeks costs you over £2,700. Every day vacant is money gone.
West Midland councils are actively scrutinising large HMOs. Licensing gaps, fire safety failures and missing documentation put your entire investment at risk.
Without the right systems, problem tenants cost months in legal fees, management time, and lost rent before resolution.
Standard letting agents aren’t equipped for large HMOs. You get general advice when you need specialist management.
Trying to run a Birmingham HMO remotely, chasing rent, coordinating maintenance, responding to tenants, becomes a full-time job you never signed up for.
Without clear financials and regular updates, you’re flying blind. Good management means you always know exactly what’s happening with your asset.
We don't manage standard rentals or commercial properties. Every process, too, and team member is focused on large HMOs, so everything we do is tuned to your specific needs.
We advertise your vacant rooms across multiple platforms, but we do not rely solely on them. Our direct leads pipeline and referral network mean quality tenants come to us without waiting on the portals. Fewer void days, more income for you.
One rate. No hidden charges. No percentage mark-ups on maintenance. A fully managed 6-bedroom London HMO at £900 per room generates you approximately £648/month in net management — and you know exactly what you're paying.
We've been managing large HMOs across London and the West Midlands since 2017. Our case studies show what happens when the right management takes over a struggling property.
The Renters’ Rights Act is the biggest shake-up to the private rented sector in decades. If you own an HMO in Birmingham and your tenants are on Assured Shorthold Tenancies, this affects you directly. Here is what is changing and what you need to do about it.
Section 21 no longer exists. You cannot serve a no-fault eviction notice on your tenants. Evictions now require a legal ground and a court process. For HMO landlords with multiple tenants this increases your exposure significantly if tenancy management is weak.
All tenancies are now periodic. Tenants can give notice and leave with more flexibility. This means more potential movement between rooms and less predictability in your income. Strong tenant retention processes are no longer optional.
Rent increases must follow a strict legal process under Section 13. You cannot simply raise rents at renewal. Any increase must be justified and properly served. Poorly managed rent strategies will cost landlords money.
Property standards are now legally enforceable. Hazards must be addressed within 48 hours of being reported. Maintenance must be logged and evidenced. This applies to HMOs regardless of how your tenancy agreements are structured.
If your property is being self-managed or handled by a general lettings agent, the risk of getting this wrong is high. Non-compliance is not just a fine. It is tenant disputes, legal costs, and damaged returns.
Professional HMO management is no longer just about filling rooms. It is about protecting your asset, staying compliant, and maintaining your income in a tougher legal environment.
A landlord in Birmingham owned a large HMO that had been converted from a derelict hotel into four houses. Despite its potential, the property was underperforming — low occupancy, ongoing maintenance issues, rent arrears exceeding £10,000, and serious tenant management concerns.
When we took over, the property required immediate intervention to stabilise operations and restore profitability.
