Overview

What we arrange.

HMO and portfolio cases reward landlords who are organised. Lenders expect a clear schedule of assets, a sensible business plan, evidence of property management capability, and stress-testable rental income. The right broker work up front prevents a portfolio refinance turning into a six-month slog.

We handle simple single-HMO refinances through to portfolios in the tens of properties — across personal names, SPVs and mixed structures.

Facets

HMO mortgages

C4 and sui generis HMO mortgages, including large HMOs of seven beds and above.

Multi-unit blocks

Single freehold containing multiple self-contained flats, mortgaged as one asset.

Portfolio refinance

Consolidating multiple properties under one facility — simplifies admin and can release equity.

Limited-company SPV

Buying or refinancing in a limited company set up specifically to hold property — increasingly the default for investors.

Use cases

Where this product earns its place.

  1. 01

    Standard BTL converted to HMO

    Refinancing a previously single-let property after a refurbishment uplift to HMO use — typically onto a higher-yielding HMO mortgage.

  2. 02

    Portfolio aggregation

    Refinancing five or more separate BTL mortgages onto a single portfolio facility, often releasing equity for further acquisition.

  3. 03

    Limited-company purchase

    Acquiring property inside a newly-formed SPV, often for tax-efficiency reasons — financed by lenders comfortable with director guarantees.

Questions

Common ground.

Should I hold property in a limited company?
It depends on tax position, income level, and intentions for the portfolio. We don't give tax advice — but we work alongside accountants regularly and can structure the lending around either approach.
How many properties before I'm a 'portfolio landlord'?
PRA rules treat four or more mortgaged BTL properties as a portfolio. Lenders apply a deeper underwrite to the whole portfolio at that point — we package the supporting schedule and business plan.
