The Renters’ Rights Act, licensing, energy standards and higher tax on rents held personally are changing the economics of private letting. Most owners of student and HMO portfolios will at some point be approached by a buyer; far fewer are shown the full range of alternatives.
This paper sets out three paths. Owners can grow, with an equity partner funding further acquisitions while they continue to run the portfolio. They can hold, refinancing, releasing cash for family members or arranging succession. Or they can sell, whole or in parts, to the buyers who value each part most. It also explains why the best prices go to owners who prepare well in advance of any sale.
