Lendlord has published its inaugural HMO Data Analysis Report, providing insights into the house in multiple occupation (HMO) market for Q4 2024.
Drawing on data from 1,126 HMO properties, the report revealed regional trends in property values, rental yields, and market distribution.
The average HMO yield across the UK was recorded at 10.4%.
Greater London dominated the market, accounting for 20.6% of all HMOs analysed, yet offered lower yields compared to the North East, where investors achieved the highest returns (15.4%).
The highest annual rental income was found in the South East at £46,041.
Regions like the West Midlands (11.8% market share) and the North West (15.1% market share) reflected a clear North-South divide in property values and investment efficiency.
Aviram Shahar, co-founder and CEO of Lendlord, said: “The HMO market remains a cornerstone of the UK’s rental sector, offering significant opportunities for landlords and investors. However, maximising its potential requires clear, data-driven insights.
“This report highlights key trends and regional disparities, providing landlords and brokers with the information they need to make informed, strategic decisions.
“At Lendlord, we’re committed to leveraging technology to simplify property management and empower smarter investment choices, ensuring our users can confidently navigate the complexities of the market.”
