The hmo & student housing stack

Six instruments, calibrated.

HMO operators — Article 4 + selective licensing aware, room-level billing, utility splits, certificate tracking. Built for UK HMO and student housing.

01 · Room-level lettings

The room is the unit. Not the house.

Per-room AST, per-room rent, per-room deposit, per-room turnover. Voids tracked by room, not by property — the metric that actually moves yield.

  • Per-room AST & deposit
  • Room-level rent ledger
  • Void-week tracker per room
  • Room rebook flow
02 · Utility & council tax splits

Bills split right. Every month. No arguments.

Energy, water, broadband, council tax — split per room with reads logged, exceptions flagged, statements generated. The tenant argument that used to take an hour, gone.

  • Per-room utility allocation
  • Meter read logging
  • Council tax band & split
  • Auto-generated statements
03 · Selective licensing tracker

Article 4, selective, additional — every property, on the clock.

Council scheme matrix per property, licence renewal cycle, conditions tracked, application packs templated. The licence that loses the room, prevented.

  • Per-council scheme matrix
  • Licence renewal cycle
  • Conditions compliance log
  • Application pack templates
04 · Certificate compliance

HMO licence, EICR, gas, fire — never lapsed.

Every certificate per property and per room, contractor pre-booked at T-minus-30, audit log for inspection. The thing that loses the licence, prevented.

  • HMO licence renewal
  • EICR five-year clock
  • Gas safety annual cycle
  • Fire alarm + emergency lighting
05 · Tenant turnover ops

Move-out, clean, inventory, advertise — on a clock.

Check-out booked, clean assigned, inventory checked, photos uploaded, listing pushed — all in days, not weeks. Void week killed at the room level.

  • Check-out & inventory flow
  • Cleaning crew dispatch
  • Listing & portal push
  • Self-serve viewing booking
06 · BrainBase

Council schemes, HMO regs, dispute history — indexed.

The operator's knowledge brain — every council scheme, every HMO condition, every dispute resolution — searchable from a phone on a turnover day.

  • Per-council scheme library
  • HMO condition digest
  • Dispute resolution archive
  • AI-assisted retrieval
Sample engagement

The 80-room HMO operator that cut void weeks 17%.

80 rooms. Twelve houses. Voids tracked by property, not by room.

A regional HMO operator tracked rents by property and turnovers via a wall calendar at the office. Three-week build: room-level ledger with per-room voids, rebook flow with cleaning + inventory + listing on a single timeline, council-scheme licensing matrix. Six months in: void weeks down 17% across the portfolio, licence-condition lapses eliminated, statements generated in minutes not days.

How we measure: Void weeks measured as room-weeks unlet across 80 rooms, six-month rolling baseline vs six-month post-build (n = 2,080 room-weeks per period); licence-condition lapses defined as any property running outside its scheme's stated conditions for >7 days.
