HMO management built by HMO developers

We are not letting agents who bolted HMOs on as a sideline. The three of us develop, own and self-manage HMOs, and Based grew straight out of running our own portfolio in and around Stafford. So when we take on your property, we already understand the licensing, the fire compliance, the tenant mix and the numbers, because we deal with the exact same things on our own doors every week.

What we handle for Stafford landlords

Everything that keeps an HMO full, compliant and quietly profitable:

Tenant find, referencing and right-to-rent checks
Rent collection and arrears handling
Maintenance and a trusted network of local Stafford contractors
Regular room-by-room inspections
HMO licensing and renewals with Stafford Borough Council
Gas, electrical (EICR), fire alarm and emergency lighting compliance

Stafford HMO licensing, handled

A mandatory HMO licence is needed where five or more people from two or more households share a property, and Stafford Borough Council can attach its own conditions. We check the position on every property we take on, handle the application, and keep it renewed. Not sure where you stand? Read our guides on whether you need an HMO licence in Stafford and HMO fire safety requirements.

No bullshit fees, and the areas we cover

Our fee is one clear percentage, agreed before you sign, covering the work. No key handover fees, no renewal fees, no markup on contractor invoices. Genuine third-party costs like a council licence are passed on at cost.

We manage HMOs across Stafford and the surrounding ST postcodes, including Stone and Penkridge. If your property is nearby and you want it run properly, get in touch.
