What is an HMO property?
HMO stands for ‘house in multiple occupancy’. A property is classed as an HMO when at least three people who are not from the same household live together and share communal facilities such as a bathroom and/or kitchen. A household includes families, relatives, and people who are in a relationship. HMOs are more commonly referred to as ‘house shares’, though they can also include bedsits and student accommodation properties.
What is HMO landlord insurance?
HMO landlord insurance protects against the increased risk involved with letting houses in multiple occupation. House share properties can be more prone to wear and tear, and if you’re renting to students, the stereotype is that students will host more parties, which could result in accidental damage.
Taking out specialist landlord insurance for HMO properties will help protect your property against the unique risks involved with owning and managing a house in multiple occupancy.

How much does HMO landlord insurance cost?
Although HMO properties come with their own unique set of risks, they can also be less risky in some respects. For instance, having multiple occupants means that the risks involved with rental non-payments are more spread out. Even if one tenant defaults on their payment and goes into rent arrears, you’ll still get rent from the other occupants.
At Adrian Flux, we work on a case-by-case basis, listening to your circumstances and providing a quote that truly reflects the risks involved. As a result, we’re often able to offer low-cost landlord insurance for HMO properties.
