New HMOs are getting harder. Existing ones aren’t
- 1
Councils are closing the door
Since 23rd July 2025, Maidstone can refuse new HMOs that need planning where more than 10% of homes within 100m are already HMOs, or where they’d sandwich a family home.
- 2
Article 4 is spreading
Swale brought one in in June 2026, Gravesham agreed in May 2026 to keep working towards one, and Maidstone councillors are pushing for one in Fant. Once it lands, even a small new HMO needs planning.
- 3
Licensing keeps getting stricter
Medway’s new additional licensing starts on 4th January 2027, and London boroughs keep renewing theirs at higher fees. A house that’s already licensed and compliant has done the hard part.
- 4
The tenants haven’t gone anywhere
Hospitals, councils, colleges and London commuters still need rooms. A typical Maidstone room lets for around £750 a month with bills, and en suites go for about £60 more (SpareRoom, October 2026).
- 5
It earns from day one
Buy one that’s licensed and let, and the rent starts at completion. No build, no planning wait, no empty months.
Fewer new HMOs, same demand. That’s why the best deals are existing HMOs bought off market, before anyone else sees them.
Buying an HMO? Let's make sure it stacks
Before you commit, we check the price, planning, licensing, works, rents, costs, cash flow and your exit options. £499.
