You are most welcome.

Brilliant Saj!

Fantastic thank you, I have just been given 5 HMOS to sell in Merseyside and needed this to understand the valuations.

So glad I found this video. Super helpful thank for sharing. Looking to remortgage an all en-suite 7 Bed Sui Generis HMO and need to know the figure for a commercial valuation. How do we find the yield for our investing area? Also just wondering in my example: the annual income is £66k x 10 = £660k estimated commercial valuation but according to sold prices in the area for 6/7 bed bricks and mortar comparables the DUV could reach up to £700k. Is this likely it could reach the same figure or is the commercial valuation always higher?

[@dave3runmovement]

Hi Saj. I've been speaking with a few mortgage brokers recently and they seem to think that lenders are becoming tighter on commercial valuations at the moment and say to expect the valuation to be in line with a pure bricks and mortar valuation based on local comparables. Have you found that this is the case recently and if not and you're still getting commercial valuations through based on purely rental income?

[@liszaf3976]

Thanks once again Saj, you explain things so well! I now understand that I need to get my Certificate of Lawfulness for my HMO, I'll let you know if I get it!

Is it possible to get an accurate local yield for my area online or do I need to speak to a surveyor ?

[@m.k370]

Very informative. Thank you Saj

[@TheSajHussain]

Glad it was helpful!

[@openplanrealestate7773]

who's the surveyor? Such a high yield that was given on the valuation.

[@dreamkiss]

Great video very helpful for me

[@AllBoxingPodcast]

Excellent Video

[@ashleyspencer3664]

Really great content across all your videos. Yield calculation is always the biggest unknown for me. Will these very by lender?

[@TheSajHussain]

Thank you. Yes they will vary from lender to lender and surveyor to surveyor. Best way to minimise the uncertainty is to have a chat with the surveyor before they come out.

[@RebeccaBlack-io9jc]

how do you get the money in the first place to invest?

[@RS46192]

I am currently about to do a 5 bed HMO. How do I solidify that commercial valuation if not a 7 bed

[@aadilahmed5904]

Very useful thanks for this! Can you do a video on finding deals, direct to vendor and building a Funnel for opportunities please. Seem to be fine with calculations and going through the process just not finding enough stock or looking in the right areas.

[@TheSajHussain]

Yes, coming soon. It is a tuff market right now with very little stock about.

[@adilqureshi1696]

Great video! How long did it take from buy to refurb to commercial reval? Thanks!!!

[@TheSajHussain]

Our HMO's typically take about 9-12 months to get the cash back in the bank.

[@AAA19999]

If you buy a 7 or larger bed HMO what is the likelihood you can get a commercial mortgage and then be able to pay the lower stamp duty land tax as compared to residential ?

[@mkyuen8349]

Hi Saj Very detail and comprehensive explanation. It really opened up my eyesight. You have mentioned the net yield is 7.8% in the area your HMO is. How do we figure out the net yield of HMO in any area for the calculation. Also you mentioned multiply the annual rent by 10 for crude calculation, is it also apply in other city? Lastly, if have time, can you talk about lawful development certificate esp for those ready made HMO in Article 4 area?

[@TheSajHussain]

Best way to establish the net yield is to have a chat with the surveyor before they come out.

[@Ensignsecurity]

What commercial lender did you used on this property? Do they have criteria of x years trading history and minimum beds? I’m thinking of using a regular BTL mortgage for 2 years and then apply for commercial when I have 2 years of proven history

[@jtlondon81]

Saj are you able to shadow a residential to hmo conversation amd take a fee for your time or percent of the net profit. I have a couple of projects to convert to hmo but need shadowing to ensure i don't get the key parts wrong Thanks J

[@mohmda4449]

Im curious as to how the process of sourcing property for other people works. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. For example if I find property for someone what's to stop that person simply going direct to seller?

[@TheSajHussain]

Salaam Mohammad, this video should clear things up for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYfNfZKIhrSmnJI

[@mohmda4449]

@@TheSajHussain thank you. This channel is excellent 👍

[@KL-v-]

Great video as always, thanks Saj. As a note on the side, if a property is converted (sui generics as an example), to a point where conversion back to a BTL is difficult and hence increases the chances of a commercial valuation, wouldn't that in the flip side, risk VOA/Council rebanding the HMO by room?

[@TheSajHussain]

VOA risk will always be there. You just increase the room prices.

[@lawrencecheung1628]

How do house prices impact the hmo valuations for future purposes? It’s all well and good you can pull out the money for the fixed term of the initial valuation. But what if house prices crash significantly after your mortgage fixed rate ends (say in 5 years)? Is the property still valued on the rental income multiple regardless of brick and mortar house prices? If not, extracting so much equity out may be a huge risk. Conversely, if house prices shoot up ridiculously after your 5 year fixed rate ends, but rents remain the same/similar, this means the hmo valuation will remain at the valuation 5 years ago?

[@PR-gc6hr]

Hello Saj, thanks you for you video's learned lots. Quick question, my mortgage broker tells me I need a bricks and mortar mortgage, Can you recommend where to got for a surveyor and mortgage broker.

[@12345678915828]

Hi saj great content as usual. The example at the end you said you got a 500k valuation wouldn’t you deduct the 20% of bad debt off the end valuation giving you a val of around 400k then take 75%ltv from that figure.

[@TheSajHussain]

Not in this case. Lots of factors are considered for each valuation.

[@MiSandraa]

Hi Saj, I'm not quite sure commercial valuations will always work out better for HMOs than bricks and mortar valuation but correct me if I'm wrong. I'm currently in the middle of converting a 3 bed house into a 6 bed HMO and the estimated net rental income p/a will be £32,600. If I was to use the commercial valuation and times this figure by 10 that would give me £326k. But comparables in the area show that the property may be worth £345k after works.

[@ashleyspencer3664]

Usually in higher value areas you tend to get lower yields. This results in a higher price - your local multiplier might be 11 or 12.

[@TheSajHussain]

Ashley is spot on!

[@room4110]

Great videos! I have a question, would appreciate any help! I am looking at 2/3 bed houses to convert to larger HMOs and one thing I am struggling with is knowing what to look out for in terms of what indicates good potential to convert. I'm finding it rare to see floor plans that have multiple reception rooms for example, is it the sqft i'm meant to be looking at or is it something else? Any help appreciated!

[@TheSajHussain]

I suggest getting familiar with the types of properties in your chosen location. Then look at what others have done to convert them to HMO's to get ideas of how you could do the same.

[@queensberryrulez5306]

Problems comes when a lot of lenders aren’t interested in valuing property using a different method. Comparable is the most reliable in terms of banks trying to get their money back should the worst happen.

[@knownsensesocialmedia7618]

Saj you are the best guy. But some HMO landlords don’t want to look at the valuation x10 and the demand is high they want what they want don’t care about the valuations. What do you do in that case? Thanks

[@TheSajHussain]

I assume you mean the seller wants an above market price. If that is the case than mistake 3 in this video will help you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6eUfaisq517pc0

[@knownsensesocialmedia7618]

Thanks for the heart but like to know your point of view in that case?

[@jackwainwright1637]

Hi Saj, If some rooms within the HMO were empty void. would this reflect the valuation. For example if the property has recently been renovated and if only 3 out of 6 rooms were occupied at the time of valuation, would the value be based on the property at its full potential 100% let income or based on what it is achieving at the time the surveyor carry's out valuation. Thanks

[@TheSajHussain]

Jack this will be down to the surveyor. Personally I would ensure full occupancy before starting the mortgage application.

[@grimetip]

Dear Saj, great video I wanted to ask, when it came to getting the refinancing process underway and the valuation to occur for the purposes of your mortgage to be applied, do you get to speak to the lending Banks chosen surveyor to inform them that you are looking for a commercial valuation and not a Bricks and Mortar one? Or do banks let you chose your own surveyor? Also when the yield of 7.8% was chosen for your are of Birmingham, is that yield percentage representative of the specific typical HMO yield for the area or general BTL yield for the area (as both would be considerably different I suspect) Kind regards, Mo

I would like to re-finance next year, What would acheive the highest valuation: A commercial valuation based on the new rent OR splitting the titles?
