Question 1 of 8
HMO guaranteed rent in Edgware, explained
HMO guaranteed rent means Morgan Prescott takes on your house in multiple occupation, or a larger house suited to sharers, and pays you a fixed rent every month. Empty rooms, sharers moving on and day-to-day problems become our concern, not yours.
It suits Edgware landlords who want the stronger income that room lets can bring, without the constant workload of running an HMO themselves. The figure, the term and every responsibility are agreed in writing before you commit.
Why HMOs work in Edgware
Room lets depend on steady demand from sharers: professionals, key workers, students and people starting out in London. In Edgware (HA8), that demand is driven by:
Edgware's Northern line terminus and bus hub
Edgware Community Hospital and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital nearby
Easy reach of Middlesex University's Hendon campus
That depth of demand is what allows us to commit to a fixed figure, and to keep rooms filled with well-referenced sharers.

HMO licensing and planning in Edgware
Edgware is covered by Barnet Council. Any HMO with five or more people from two or more households needs a mandatory licence, wherever it is. On top of that, here is how the local rules stand:
Worth knowing: Edgware straddles Barnet and Harrow councils, which run different rules, so we confirm the council for your street at appraisal.
Additional licensing
Barnet runs borough-wide additional licensing for HMOs of three or more people from two or more households, from October 2022 for five years.
Selective licensing
There is no selective licensing in force, although the council consulted in 2026 on a scheme for ten wards including Burnt Oak, Colindale and Hendon.
Article 4 (planning)
A borough-wide Article 4 direction has been in force since 2016, so converting a family house into a small HMO needs planning permission.

How much does HMO guaranteed rent pay in Edgware?
It depends on the number and size of rooms, the condition and licensing of the property, and its exact location. After a free appraisal we give you a fixed monthly figure in writing, usually within 24 hours.
Who looks after the sharers and repairs?
We do. We find and vet the sharers, handle day-to-day maintenance and call-outs, and keep compliance up to date. Structural items and buildings insurance normally stay with the owner, and the split is set out in the contract.
What should I check before signing a guaranteed rent deal?
Who the contract is with, that rent is paid when rooms are empty, the term and break clauses, who handles repairs, the handback condition, who holds the licence, and whether your mortgage lender and insurer allow a company let. Our guide covers all twelve questions.
