Am I eligible?
Eligibility for Molo mortgages depends on meeting certain criteria. For HMO mortgages these are
Your experience
We only lend HMO buy-to-let mortgages to landlords with at least 12 months’ experience. Therefore, you will need to have owned a buy-to-let and rented it out for at least one year in order to qualify for a HMO buy-to-let mortgage.
The property
The property is classed as an HMO if it's rented out by three or more people who aren’t related and form more than one household
Number of rooms
The HMO you’d like to buy can’t have more than 12 lettable rooms, and we’ll need to perform a red-book valuation on larger HMOs between 7 and 12 lettable rooms
Licence
An HMO licence may be required for some properties depending on local authority rules. If you have a large HMO with five or more tenants, you will be required by law to obtain a license before you can let the property.
