2 Welcome Thanks for taking the time to look over our HMO checklist and I hope it is of some use! It s by no means exhaustive but it s a good start to your property adventure and if you need a bit more help then you re welcome to get in touch on social media and if we know the answer we ll be happy to help. Helen and I are working towards financial freedom through property and will have achieved our goal of both being full time in property by June We re growing fast and securing fantastic deals so if you want to be part of the adventure and invest to get either some passive income or a bit of hand holding to get you started on your own adventure then by all means get in touch!

3 HMO build Checklist!! 1. Run the numbers (See Numbers page below for rough guide to pricing etc). 2. Purchase house!! Duh!! 3. Detailed floorplan to include everything. (see example below) I use but there s plenty out there. 4. Schedule of works (See example below). 5. Get quotes for the works. Make sure quotes are like for like and they return their price with any amendments on YOUR schedule of works. 6. Appoint builder/contractor. 7. Set milestones with your builder to cover the schedule of works. I.E. Week 1 strip out. Week 4 all en-suite carcasses built. There s no point in stressing about things not happening in the right order according to the schedule of works but milestones can bring the job back under control. 8. Install broadband. This can take weeks so best to start early. I go with Virgin business broadband 60p/month. 9. Get sewer maps from local water authority if building extensions etc. these should be free. Discuss with your builder. 10. Register with gas & electric as new owner. Change from PAYG to monthly billing if necessary. 11. Upgrade water feed if necessary. This normally applies if your are installing multiple en-suites with mixer valves. Speak to plumber to confirm. If building through winter this should be the first job as burst/frozen pipes will take priority and could set you back months! 12. Install Wi-Fi boosters in loft. This is down to personal preference and size of hmo but discuss with an expert but Wi-Fi will be high up on your tenants requirements 13. Create snag list for builder. Be ruthless as this is your last chance to make sure everything is how you want it! 14. Managed by lettings agent or self manage?? Hands off or hands on? Tough decision but whatever you decide, well done. You have just completed your first HMO baby!! 15. Contact your local council and get your HMO license.
