Unusual housing type for us in the US - a HMO - have only seen this near universities, for students to live in.

@PropertyCouple Год назад

It’s very common in the UK with the ever growing rents and lack of housing supply.

@Aia-ky7uh 2 месяца назад

because that's exactly what it's supposed to be for but parasites are are spreading all over UK, going downhill with this type of activity happening. There's a lack of supply as the houses are being divided as this and being overpriced with little value including from uneducated, incompetent and lazy landlords i.e. criminals

@danw1952 Год назад

Fabulous transformation! Each one of the 8 rooms will provide wonderful homes for your tenants. Your growth as business owners is something to behold. Looks like you were meant to be "doing" property. Plus, darn it, you look SO GOOD doing it! Amazing what a quality staging service can do to sell a property. Love both the green and grey color schemes.

@PropertyCouple Год назад

You’re too kind, thank you 🙏

I don't think this kind of living arrangement exists in America. A long time ago you could rent a room in a large house and they were called boarding houses but that seems very low rent compared to this luxurious arrangement, but for some reason, and it may be zoning, people just don't share bathrooms and kitchens with multiple people outside of their family, unless they are roommates. And I don't think I've ever known someone with more than one roommate, it's just the way apartments are kind of built and designed in America. I guess they know most people do not want to share facilities. I'm sure there are some rare exceptions but it would be extremely rare. I could see where it would make sense for a lot of people, though And that is an absolutely gorgeous building! I love the brick and it has so much character, very very impressive and beautifully done on the inside as well!

@harvestmoon_autumnsky Год назад

It does remind me of a boarding house! Like in those old movie musicals from the 1800's where it's near the train station and people are passing though. I can't imagine people paying very much for accommodations so small with shared spaces. It's like a college dorm. Sort of. But maybe we're spoiled as Americans. Maybe its more common in other places. They certainly made it beautiful. And if I was fresh out of college and looking for a job, I might like it, provided that it was very inexpensive. But more of a place you'd stay for a couple of months before you found a better place. Not better as in quality, because again, beautiful. But better as in more space and more privacy.

@kathy9399 Год назад

People still rent out rooms in their homes especially near a college or university in the U,.S. I have a three bedroom home in Tempe, AZ near Arizona State University and each bedroom is rented individually. Also, it's common for my single friends to rent out their secondary bedrooms too.

@PropertyCouple Год назад

In the UK demand for housing often outweighs supply. The rentals in the uk have also increased substantially since all the mortgage rates have gone up. A lot of landlords have been forced to increase their rents to ensure they won’t be running at a loss. This type of housing is very popular in the uk because it’s more affordable and very convenient with only one payment for everything.

@orielwiggins2225 Год назад

Oh my goodness, all the rooms are so beautiful, and that kitchen! 😍 When I saw that big window overlooking the garden, I was thinking," oh, I want room 8," then you said water damage, and my heart sank. I hope they are able to get that all fixed asap and avoid any mold issues. Thank you for sharing this with us. I can't imagine the work and money that went into raising the floors. And looking forward to hearing what you end up doing with the unused rooms.

@susieb8661 Год назад

Was this the "famous" squatter property? LOVE the green & gray colors (good choices). Came out nice!

@PropertyCouple Год назад

Yes it was! Now look at it.

@harvestmoon_autumnsky Год назад

Wow. I would be so so happy to live there. So beautiful. Clean and airy. Love that everyone has their own fridge. Do you charge significantly less than a standard apartment since it's a shared house? You've probably already talked about this on another video. But everyone has their own bathroom. That's so great. Very small rooms, but again, I guess, that makes it cheaper? I'm trying to imagine who rents these places out. Young people straight out of college, low on the salary scale? Working class single people? Do couples rent a room or is it just meant as a single occupancy?

@PropertyCouple Год назад

Thanks for commenting! It’s of course cheaper than taking a whole apartment for yourself yes. Bills are usually included also. It’s perfect for single people who don’t require a whole house to themselves. Or people who may live somewhere for 6 months. Or people who come to an area for shorter term project work.

@susieb8661 Год назад

I watch a lot of airline attendants on youtube who sometimes rent crash pads - this would be perfect for them@@PropertyCouple

@joannebaker4925 Год назад

Lia and Ach, I'm so happy 😊 for you both. What a wonderful job you did after releasing yourselves of your wonderful squatter. OMG 😲 that squatter series was epic. Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊 to you both.

@KatieScoot11 Год назад

Fabulous! All of your hard work and planning has definitely paid off! Did you choose all of the decor and furniture yourself? The colors look amazing! What do the stagers actually do? Bed linens, pillows and pictures on the wall? Or all of the little accents like the candles, plants, throws on the beds? I know you’ve touched upon this before.

@PropertyCouple Год назад

Yes Ach actually chose it this time as I was deep in wedding planning! The stager dressed the room and makes it look as inviting as possible for the photos!

@Stacyr4567 Год назад

Looks terrific!

@dougchinn2820 Год назад

Great having the sensor lights in the hallway and the bath, being that utilities are paid by the landlord. Saves on electricity. Love the color scheme.

@CoupleMoore Год назад

Beautiful reno! You two have really created a wonderful business for yourselves. Huge congrats! But I have to admit, I almost wept when I saw you chose to replace that beautiful, curved, wooden handrail on the original staircase rather than refurbish it. I know you have to make cost-effective choices, and you tend to prefer modern design, but it’s a shame to forego preserving original architecture and features when the opportunity is there, especially in the UK where history is so meaningful.

@PropertyCouple Год назад

We would love to keep as many of the details as we can however when creating living like this often we have to ensure we comply with local HMO regulations. Raising the floor so high for planning meant we had to box it in!

@MARKB3946 Год назад

What an awesome refurb. Great job to the two of you and your builders. The tenants will be thrilled at the quality and attention to detail. Good luck with quick leasing and for people that will appreciate and take care of their areas.

@kristingomez6801 Год назад

It looks amazing! You’ve come so far since your first property! ❤️ I’m really surprised to see you doing so much carpeting. I would thing that would get ruined quicker. Are you using it because it will keep the place quieter with so many tenants?

@PropertyCouple Год назад

Quieter yes and helps with the warmth in winter. It’s also more comfortable for tenants.

@opentrail Год назад

Looks fantastic. Would be interested to understand why you bought in Grimsby with a lot of competition and high supply of HMO on spare rooms. Are you planning on making another video to discuss the strategy and numbers for this property? Did you have any objections from money loaners in terms of what climate change is forecasting that Grimsby will be underwater by 2050? I see you have had to raise the ground floor which seems excessive and probably a high cost right?

@PropertyCouple Год назад

We bought because the demand is high. Once rented out we will more then likely do another video breaking down the numbers. We purchased this property without a mortgage via private investors into the business. The cost to raise the floors wasn’t as substantial as you think however it did of course add to the cost. However we are becoming more accustomed to pivoting on projects to find solutions.

Does this building use electric, natural gas (I think the British call it "town gas"), or district heating? When I lived in downtown San Jose in a similar building, it used window mounted AC, and electric heating 😃

We prefer long term renters for sure but these types of properties can attract shorter term tenants also. We are looking to secure a company who will take the whole thing currently.
