HMO Management Manchester
Expert HMO management for landlords across Greater Manchester - keeping your multi-let properties compliant, profitable, and hassle-free.
What’s Included in Our HMO Management Service
Managing a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) requires a higher level of oversight and compliance. Our comprehensive HMO management service takes care of every aspect – from guiding you through licensing requirements to handling maintenance and to tenant relations – so you can enjoy the returns of your property without the daily stress.
HMO Licensing & Compliance
We assist you to handle all HMO licensing requirements, renewals, and ensure full compliance with local authority regulations, including safety checks and occupancy limits.
Tenant Sourcing & Referencing
We advertise your rooms across major portals including Spareroom and Rightmove, conduct thorough tenant referencing, and ensure suitable occupants for your shared property.
Rent Collection & Accounting
All rent payments are collected and transferred monthly with transparent statements, so you always know how your investment is performing.
Property Maintenance & Repairs
From routine to emergency repairs, we coordinate all maintenance while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Cleaning & Common Area Management
We manage communal cleaning contracts, and general upkeep of shared areas to keep your tenants happy and your property running smoothly.
Routine Inspections
Regular inspections with detailed property reports (including tenant changes, maintenance issues, safety certificate renewals in the previous period - and a look ahead to the next) so you can be confident your property is being well looked after.
Deposit Registration & Dispute Handling
Deposits registered with an Government-approved Deposit Protection Scheme and disputes professionally managed for a smooth resolution.
Optional Rent & Legal Protection
Should you require rent & legal protection throughout the tenancy, we work closely with our partners at Rightmove Insurance who we can refer you to in order to get the best price possible. This covers you for any lost rent and associated legal costs.

Frequently Asked Questions About HMO Management
We know that choosing the right management option can raise a few questions. Here are some of the most common queries landlords ask about our Fully Managed Letting Service in Manchester.
Can Novellus help if I already have tenants in place?
Absolutely. We can take over management from your current agent or self-managed setup at any stage, ensuring a seamless transition for both you and your tenants.
What is an HMO property?
A House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) is a property rented out by at least three tenants who are not from one household but share facilities such as a bathroom and kitchen. HMOs can be shared houses, flats, or bedsits and often require a licence from Manchester City Council.
What’s included in Novellus’s HMO management service?
Our service covers everything from tenant sourcing and rent collection to compliance checks, maintenance, and 24/7 tenant support. We ensure your property meets all HMO regulations and remains profitable while reducing your stress as a landlord.
How does HMO management differ from standard property management?
HMO management requires a deeper understanding of safety standards, local authority licensing, and multi-tenant dynamics. At Novellus, we specialise in this – managing tenant turnover, cleaning contracts, maintenance and compliance documentation to ensure your property runs smoothly.
How much does HMO management cost?
Our fees are competitive and transparent, based on the number of tenants and level of service required. Get in touch with us for a tailored quote – and discover how our approach offers exceptional value for HMO landlords in Manchester.

Most HMOs in Manchester require a licence, depending on the size and number of tenants. Different councils across Manchester may have different rules (such as Stockport, Manchester, Salford City Council). Contact your local council to check.
