Nigel Farage has once again ignited controversy, this time turning his sights on the UK’s House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) sector. Speaking out this week at a Reform press conference in Dover, Farage claimed that HMOs are not only damaging communities but are increasingly being used to house illegal migrants and asylum seekers, often at the taxpayer’s expense.

Farage, who could become the next UK Prime Minister according to the polls and recent local election results, argued that the rapid growth of HMOs—particularly in urban areas—is "a symptom of a failed immigration and housing policy." He criticised how private landlords and government contracts are turning residential streets into overcrowded multi-let properties, undermining local cohesion and public services.

While HMOs can be a profitable property strategy, especially for landlords seeking higher yields, they’ve become controversial. Local residents often complain about noise, rubbish, overcrowding, parking and falling property values. Councils have responded with Article 4 directions and tougher licensing schemes.

Is this another nail in the coffin for buy-to-let property investment, and further reasons for landlords to get out of the UK property market?
