Looking for HMO Mortgage in Coventry? Then look no further.
We have whole of the market access allowing us to find our customers the best possible deal.
Coventry's proximity to the University of Warwick, together with its UK City of Culture-linked regeneration, supports consistent rental demand across both traditional terraced housing and newer developments. HMO lending in Coventry requires a lender who understands local licensing requirements and the specific demand drivers behind the city's shared housing market.
At Raise the Bridge, we specialise in HMO mortgages across Coventry and the surrounding area, so we understand exactly what's needed to get a mortgage application for a licensed HMO property approved.
Coventry has an Article 4 Direction affecting HMOs.
Coventry City Council introduced an Article 4 Direction on 30 September 2023 covering 11 named wards: Cheylesmore, Earlsdon, Foleshill, Lower Stoke, Radford, St. Michael's, Sherbourne, Wainbody, Whoberley, Westwood and Upper Stoke. Within these wards, a planning application is required to convert a residential property into an HMO, even for fewer than 7 tenants. Properties already lawfully in use as an HMO before the direction took effect are unaffected, unless that use later lapses and is later converted back.
Planning and licensing rules can change, and exact area boundaries matter — always confirm the current position for a specific property before relying on it.

HMO stands for House in Multiple Occupation — a property let to several tenants from more than one household who share facilities such as the kitchen or bathroom.
Lenders need more information about the property and usually require it to be fully licensed with the local council, which most standard buy-to-let lenders aren't set up to assess.
Licensing requirements vary by council and by how many people the property is let to — we can talk through what applies to your property before you apply.
You'll speak to an HMO mortgage adviser, complete a short application, and we submit it to our panel of UK lenders to find the most competitive rate for your property.
HMO mortgages arranged for investment purposes are typically unregulated. Raise Commercial Ltd is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We arrange unregulated commercial and investment property finance only.
