HMO Management in Haringey | Revive Property

Case Study: Guaranteed Rent Success in Haringey - Hermitage Road, N4

Overview

A three-bedroom home on Hermitage Road, Manor House N4 had been misused as an unauthorised HMO without the landlord’s consent. After neighbour complaints and a council inspection uncovered overcrowding and pest issues, the landlord—based in Newcastle—sought a trustworthy HMO management partner in Haringey. That’s where Revive Property stepped in, offering our comprehensive guaranteed rent and HMO management services in Haringey to restore confidence and compliance.

The Challenge: Rogue Letting, Unlicensed Operation & Infestation

The property was being illegally let as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) by an agent without the landlord’s knowledge. This unauthorised arrangement not only violated local housing regulations but also led to severe overcrowding and a cockroach infestation. Complaints from local residents brought the issue to light, creating both reputational and legal risks for the absent landlord.

On inspection, we found:

- Multiple unapproved tenants
- Lack of fire safety measures
- Persistent mould and damp in the bathroom
- Poor hygiene and an active pest infestation

With the landlord based over 250 miles away, they needed a local HMO expert in Haringey to take control and deliver a long-term solution without the need for their physical presence.

Our Approach: Full Renovation, Licensing & Management

Licensing & Compliance

We handled the entire HMO licensing application in Haringey, ensuring the property met all safety, legal, and occupancy standards. Fire safety upgrades were implemented, and pest control services were urgently commissioned to fully eradicate the infestation.

Property Renovation

To meet our high standards and attract professional tenants, we carried out a full refurbishment, including:

Bathroom re-grouting and repainting to eliminate mould caused by a faulty extractor fan
Deep cleaning and pest eradication services
Fresh paint and flooring updates
Revamped kitchen/lounge area to maximise shared space comfort

Guaranteed Rent Contract

We offered the landlord a 3-year guaranteed rent agreement, giving them peace of mind, regular income, and zero involvement in day-to-day management. This ensured:

Fixed monthly rental income regardless of occupancy
Full management of tenants, maintenance, and legal compliance
No need for the landlord to travel or self-manage repairs or licensing

Landlord Results & Agent Feedback

Since onboarding with Revive Property, the landlord has received 100% on-time rent payments, and the home is now let to carefully screened, reliable tenants. The property remains fully compliant and in excellent condition thanks to our regular maintenance checks and hands-on management.

Agent Review:

“I can highly recommend these guys, 10/10 service. They really do go above and beyond. Will definitely recommend them to any landlords who are looking for a professional company to manage their property!!”

What type of company are you?

Some people may refer to us as estate agents but we’re far from that. We would call ourselves property managers, specialists in managing properties for landlords and providing accommodation for professional tenants.
How do you differ to regular agents/managers?

Our aim is to give the landlord complete peace of mind. We guarantee your rent for anything up to 5 years, regardless of the property’s occupancy and essentially become your perfect tenant. In addition to all the benefits and services we offer we feel the major differentiator is that we have a complete vested interest in your property. We do not simply get a % fee once the property is let; we have to ensure the property is running at its maximum capacity at all times. You can rest assured that once we take on your property we will look after it as if it were our own.
Why should I trust you?

We can always put you in touch with landlords we have worked with in the past. Our sole premise at Revive is to build long standing relationships built on confidence and trust with both our landlords and agents. We are completely transparent as a company in how we operate and our aim is to provide an honest and efficient service to all involved.
