The Hidden Costs of Managing Your Own HMO

Time spent on maintenance, tenant disputes, compliance, and admin can easily outweigh the savings on management fees.

Missed inspections, delayed licence renewals, and forgotten safety checks come with real risks. Even small slip-ups can result in fines or damage to your reputation. Add in tenant turnover and emergency repairs, and the workload quickly becomes overwhelming.

There’s also the emotional toll: late-night calls, dealing with problem tenants, and trying to mediate between housemates. Many landlords find that once they factor in their time and stress, self-managing no longer feels worthwhile.
