The HMO Experts
Partnering with you to build your property portfolio
Platinum is the world’s first property investment franchise. You build your own successful and profitable property business – using our experience, expertise and support.
Property is one of the most secure investments you can make. Combine property with the support of a franchise and you’re really on to something.
Since 2007, we have supported more than 400 Franchise Partners to build successful property businesses that give them a secure, lifelong income.
How do we do it?
A Low-Risk, Robust Business Model
For 15 years, we’ve used our tried and tested HMO business model to guide our Franchise Partners in the purchase, renovation and tenanting of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). This low-risk model has helped more than 400 people build their successful portfolios, in a network of 1200 high-quality properties across the country.

A Supportive Franchise Community
Add to this the support Franchise Partners gain from joining a community of like-minded individuals offering the benefit of their direct experience, then the advantages of joining the network really become clear.
Our Expertise
Buying the right properties
Buying properties that will work as HMOs is crucial. You’ll work with Platinum’s experienced buying mentors to ensure you get the right properties for the right price in the right area. Our buying mentors are like personal trainers – keeping you on track and pushing you when needed.
Renovation experts
Turning your purchases into high-end HMOs means renovation – and money. Our renovation experts are on hand to make sure you make the right structural and decorative changes and stay on the right side of your budget, finishing with beautiful shared living property tenants will be desperate to live in.
Finance and lending
Of course, to start your property business you’ll need capital and borrowing potential. Platinum works with some of the best financial brains in the HMO world, meaning you get access to all that knowledge and experience, as well as some great HMO mortgage deals which are exclusive to our Franchise Partners.
Legal and conveyancing
We know how frustrating the legal side of buying property can be. So, Platinum’s ‘Power Team’ of external partners includes specialist HMO conveyancers who have worked with our Franchise Partners for more than a decade. They’ll ensure your property purchases go through quickly, legally and with minimum fuss.
