The Challenge
The buyers wanted to co-own their first property but were unsure whether joint first-time applications were acceptable for HMO finance.
Our Solution
We identified a lender comfortable with joint first-time landlords, provided licensing guidance, and stress-tested income on professional room rents rather than student lets.
Testimonial
"We got clear answers on licensing, management, and lender criteria before we made an offer. That saved us from wasting money on the wrong property."
