I just hope the Agents are using the extra money to upskill their workforce. With most of the ones Ive spoken to it would be out of the frying pan and into the fire!

Reply to the comment left by Just Be Happy at 19/06/2026 - 17:28Whilst some lenders may accept 3 or 4 sharers as not breaching their mortgage terms, the property would still be an HMO and subject to the full HMO...
