Let Every Room Before It’s Finished.

Room rents are at a record high, but tenants have more rooms to choose from than ever. For a terraced-house HMO, CGIs of the rooms, kitchen and en-suites, made from the drawings we already hold, get your rooms listed and let before the builders leave.

The best-presented rooms let first.

Tenants choose a room from its photos before they ever book a viewing. With CGIs and a 3D tour you can list and pre-let rooms before completion, and stand out from the older stock on the same page.

1
List rooms early
CGIs go on SpareRoom months before the build finishes.
2
Pre-let from the 3D tour
Tenants view the rooms online and reserve before completion.
3
Fill rooms from day one
Fewer empty rooms on completion while your finance is running.

Where lettings go wrong

Why Rooms Sit Empty.

Tenants can’t see the finished room

A listing with site photos or a bare plan gets scrolled past. Tenants book viewings on rooms they can already picture living in.

Rooms only go live once the build is done

Waiting for photography means every room starts empty on completion day, with the mortgage running and no rent coming in.

Your rooms look like every other HMO

A new en-suite room listed with weak images looks no better than the tired HMO down the road, and lets for the same rent.

Do you need new drawings?+

No. If we designed your HMO, we already have everything we need.

Can we use the images on SpareRoom?+

Yes. You get high-resolution files sized for SpareRoom, the portals and social media.

Can we choose the colours?+

Yes. We can show your rooms in more than one style or colour scheme, like the light and moody rooms on this page, so you can pick before you build.

Are the CGIs exact?+

They show the design intent, materials and finishes. They’re illustrative, not measured views of each room.

Can it help with a refinance?+

The brochure and floor plans give your lender and valuer a clear picture of the finished rooms. The valuation is always the valuer’s decision.

When should we start?+

2 to 3 months before you plan to start letting rooms.
