As 2024 draws to a close, Hampshire Heights reflects on a year filled with milestones and achievements in the property market. Specializing in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), we’ve adapted to market demands and delivered exceptional value to our landlords, tenants, and investors.
If you’re a landlord or investor interested in the latest property trends—such as guaranteed rent agreements, DSS lettings, and acquiring properties at auction—this wrap-up will highlight why 2024 was a landmark year for us and our clients.
A Booming Year for HMOs
HMOs continue to dominate the rental market, and 2024 was no exception. At Hampshire Heights, we focused on ensuring our HMOs met the high-quality standards tenants expect, which helped us achieve consistently high occupancy rates. As demand for shared accommodations remains robust, landlords who own well-managed HMOs have benefited from higher rental yields and reliable tenants.
The Rise in Guaranteed Rent Demand
One of the most significant trends this year was the rise in guaranteed rent schemes. With market uncertainties, landlords are seeking stable rental income, and our guaranteed rent services have proven to be a top choice. Hampshire Heights ensures landlords receive consistent payments, reducing stress and providing financial security—especially important in a fluctuating property market.
Property Auctions: Winning Big for Clients
2024 was also a remarkable year for securing discounted properties at auction. Our biggest success came from acquiring several properties for our clients from Home Reit, purchased at significant discounts. These investments have delivered strong returns, enabling landlords to build their portfolios with properties offering great value and long-term potential.
Expanding DSS Lettings to Meet Growing Demand
The demand for DSS (housing benefit) lettings soared in 2024, and Hampshire Heights stepped up to meet it. By expanding our portfolio of DSS-friendly properties, we’ve supported tenants who rely on housing benefits while providing landlords with access to a growing, reliable tenant base. Our success in this area reflects our commitment to serving the broader housing market and ensuring that landlords maximize their rental income.
Why Choose Hampshire Heights?
This year’s success highlights our dedication to delivering results for our clients. Whether you’re a landlord seeking guaranteed rent, an investor looking for auction opportunities, or a tenant in search of quality housing, Hampshire Heights remains your trusted partner in the property market.
Looking Ahead to 2025
With 2025 on the horizon, our goals are clear:
- Continue expanding our HMO management services.

We’re excited to keep innovating and delivering exceptional service in the coming year.
