High Yield Property Management Limited have over 12 years’ experience as a specialist Cardiff HMO letting agent managing Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO) on a per room basis.
We have wealth of experience of attracting and managing professional, student and tenants in receipt of benefits on a per room, individual tenancy basis.
In our role as a Cardiff HMO letting agent, we understand the importance of attracting housemates looking for a room to rent in Cardiff and the importance of mitigating void periods for our landlords.
Websites and Apps such as www.spareroom.co.uk have become a dominant force in attracting tenants who are looking for a room to rent in Cardiff, but property portals are only one cog in our well-oiled tenant attraction process.
This year alone online property portals have played a small part in attracting tenants who are looking for a rom to rent in Cardiff with just over 10% of new housemates coming by way of an online property portal compared to 53% via organic search engines and 30% via our social media channels.
| Year | Search Engines | Social Media | Property Portals | Other |
| 2020 | 53.77% | 30.10% | 10.46% | 5.67% |
| 2019 | 31.63% | 32.11% | 18.56% | 17.70% |
| 2018 | 40.73% | 11.45% | 30.03% | 17.79% |
| 2017 | 28.70% | 46.18% | 15.56% | 9.57% |
| 2016 | 33.48% | 17.06% | 21.11% | 28.34% |
As a specialist Cardiff HMO letting agent we are continually tweaking our online presence to ensure we consistently rank on the 1st page of search engines such as Google and Bing for search terms housemates use when looking for a room to rent in Cardiff. It is evident from the table above the importance of search engines in attracting housemates as this year so far over 50% of all new housemates have been a unique enquiry via a search engine.
Therefore, if you are a self-managing HMO landlord or you are using a Cardiff HMO letting agent who does not rank well for search terms associated with room rentals and room only tenancies you are probably experiencing longer void periods in the current climate.
If you are a landlord with rooms to rent in Cardiff and looking to reduce your void periods, then look to employ a Cardiff HMO letting agent that does not just rely on property portals to attract tenants.
