HMOs for sale in Brent
Brent HMO listings should be filtered by the Article 4 that took effect on 1 November 2022 and by Appendix 1 amenity floors — not by headline yield alone.
How Brent stock usually presents
Wembley, Willesden and Kilburn sharer houses sit under the same Brent label with different planning packs. Read every listing’s Article 4 note and Appendix 1 extract as carefully as the rent roll. A marketed six-bed that fails the local space table will not clear at face value.
Planning filter
Brent confirmed its HMO Article 4 direction on 3 February 2022, with effect from 1 November 2022. That control removes permitted development for relevant C3 to C4 changes inside the designated area.

Licensing and amenity filter
Brent’s mandatory and additional HMO licensing conditions include Appendix 1 amenities and space standards. Single rooms need 6.5 m² with a separate sitting room, and England’s prescribed floors still apply as the hard stop.
Standards: Brent HMO amenity standards.
Underwriting a listing
Check achieved rents versus asking rents, licence grant versus advertised occupancy, amenity gaps, and the safety file. Appendix 1 gaps become works contingencies that cash buyers price first. Then sense-check price: HMO valuation in Brent.
