Testimonials
Joanne S.
HMO Investor, Kensington, Liverpool
Liverpool L7 is the HMO heartland but finding properties that comply with the enhanced mandatory licensing requirements was the challenge. Pearl Lemon Properties sourced a six-bed on Molyneux Road that already had full HMO licensing in place and room sizes exceeding the minimum standards. The per-room rents averaging five hundred and twenty pounds give a gross yield above thirteen percent.
Patrick O.
Professional HMO Investor, Baltic Triangle
The Baltic Triangle attracts young professionals working in the creative and tech sectors but most HMO stock is in the student areas. Pearl Lemon identified a four-bed above a commercial unit on Jamaica Street that could operate as a professional HMO. The rents are higher than student areas because the tenants value the location and the void periods are virtually non-existent.
Gemma W.
Scaling HMO Landlord, Aigburth
I already had three HMOs in Wavertree but wanted to diversify into a different Liverpool postcode. Pearl Lemon sourced a five-bed in Aigburth near Sefton Park that draws professional sharers rather than students. The tenant stability is noticeably better and the average tenancy duration is fourteen months compared to the academic-year cycle of my student properties.
