Is Your Student HMO "Profitable" ... Or Are You Just Breaking Even?

You’ve done the math on the academic year, but have you calculated the true cost of the summer gap? The academic cycle is broken for landlords.

  • The Mortgage Doesn’t Take a Holiday: Your payments are due in July and August, even when your tenants have gone home.
  • The Bill Shock: When students leave, you become liable for Council Tax, standing utility charges, and high-risk insurance premiums for unoccupied properties.
  • The Maintenance Sprint: You have a tiny 6-week window to paint, repair, and clean, often paying premium rates for tradespeople during their busiest season.

The Hard Truth — Do The Maths:

If your 6-bed HMO rents for £3,000/month, a 2-month summer void costs you £6,000 a year. Over a 5-year cycle, you are burning £30,000 in lost revenue—while still paying your mortgage, council tax, and standing charges.

We give you that £30,000 back. Every penny. A 10-month tenancy on a 6-bed HMO isn’t an investment strategy—it’s a leaking bucket. Don’t let 2026 be another year of “hoping” for summer tenants.

Landlords Who Switched. Results They Saw.

Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what happens when landlords stop hoping for summer tenants and start collecting guaranteed rent.

"I was losing around £5,500 every summer on my 5-bed in Poole—two months of nothing, then scrambling to find new students. Commercial Finder signed a 5-year lease. I haven't missed a single day of rent since we signed in 2022. I don't even look at the property anymore."
Mark T
5-Bed HMO, Poole, Dorset
"My accountant told me my yield was 7.2%. Once we factored in the summer voids, council tax, and an emergency boiler replacement, it was closer to 4.1%. After signing with Commercial Finder, I'm back to a clean 6.8% net every single month, no surprises."."
Sarah & David L.
7-Bed HMO, Bournemouth
"I was sceptical about handing over a 5-year lease. But the contract was crystal clear, the rent lands on the 1st of every month like clockwork, and the property is in better condition than when I let it. Genuinely the best decision I've made as a landlord."
James R.
6-Bed HMO, Southampton

The 365-Day Guarantee: We Become Your Perfect Tenant

We don’t just manage your property; we contract it. We offer a unique Corporate Let agreement that guarantees your income for 5 years, regardless of whether the property is full, empty, or transitioning between tenants.

How It Works:

  1. 1
    We Lease It:
    We sign a 5-year commercial lease with you. We become your sole tenant.
    One contract. One point of contact. No letting agents.
  2. 2
    We Pay You:
    You receive a fixed, guaranteed monthly rent payment on the same day
    every month. No voids. No arrears. No excuses.
  3. 3
    We Fill It:
    We use our multi-channel corporate network including short-lets, summer schools,
    and long-stay corporate placements to keep occupancy high year-round.
    If a room is empty, we pay for it, not you.

The Result?
You turn a volatile, seasonal student property into a hands-off, fixed-income asset.

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

We know what you’re really thinking. Here are the brutal questions answered honestly.

Q: Do you really cover ALL the council tax and utilities during the summer?

A: Yes. Clearly and without caveats. For the full duration of our 5-year lease, council tax liability and standing utility charges are our responsibility not yours. This is written into the contract. The day you sign with us, those bills stop landing on your doormat.

Q: Do I lose control of my property?

A: Not at all. You retain full ownership. We become your commercial tenant we handle occupancy, management, and compliance, and you collect your guaranteed rent. You can attend any inspection, and the property reverts to your full control at the end of the agreement.

Q: How can you afford to pay me if the property is empty?

A: We are experts in yield optimisation. We use a mix of tenancy types corporate short-lets, summer school placements, and long-stay professional lets to maximise occupancy in ways a single landlord typically cannot. We pool risk across our entire portfolio. We take the occupancy risk so you don’t have to.

Q: Will my property get trashed?

A: We treat your asset as if it were our own because our business depends on it. We conduct regular inspections, manage all day-to-day maintenance, and our occupancy strategy prioritises stable, longer-stay tenants. At the end of the 5-year agreement, we return your property in the same condition (or better) than when we took it on. Many of our landlords find their property is actually better maintained than under self-management.

The Academic Year Is Ending. Secure Your Rent Now.

Every day you delay is one day closer to another summer of paying a mortgage on an empty property. The landlords who lock in their guarantee before July don’t have that problem.

Secure 60 months of guaranteed income and sleep soundly knowing your mortgage is covered.
