Why Professional Cleaning is Essential for Landlords and Property Managers

Managing an HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) can be rewarding, but it also comes with a unique set of responsibilities.
Between tenant turnover, inspections, and keeping communal areas in good condition, maintaining high cleaning standards is not just about appearance but it’s about compliance, safety, and tenant satisfaction.

At Next Level Property Solutions, we specialise in HMO and landlord cleaning across Essex, helping property owners stay compliant and stress free while keeping tenants happy.

What Exactly Is HMO Cleaning?

HMO cleaning focuses on the communal areas of shared houses, typically kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and stairwells.
These are the spaces most prone to mess and wear, and local councils often include regular cleaning in their licensing requirements.

Professional HMO cleaning ensures:
✅ A hygienic and pleasant environment for tenants
✅ Fewer complaints or deposit disputes
✅ Health & Safety compliance
✅ A better reputation for landlords and letting agents

Why Regular Cleaning Is Non-Negotiable

Unlike single lets, shared houses see higher foot traffic and shared facilities, meaning dirt and germs build up faster.
Tenants expect clean, well maintained homes, and councils expect you to manage hygiene proactively.

Regular HMO cleaning also:

• Reduces the risk of pest problems

• Prolongs the life of appliances and furnishings

• Keeps you inspection ready at all times

• Saves time and money on deep cleans later

What’s Included in an HMO Cleaning Service?

At Next Level Property Solutions, our Essex based HMO cleaning covers:

• Full kitchen cleaning (surfaces, sinks, hobs, appliances)

• Bathrooms & toilets sanitised and descaled

• Hallways, stairs, and entryways swept, vacuumed, and mopped

• Bins emptied and waste areas maintained

• High-touch surfaces (handles, switches, banisters) disinfected

• Optional bedroom or full-property deep cleans between tenants

We also supply cleaning logs and checklists, so you can display them on walls for compliance and tenant reassurance.

Compliance Made Easy With COSHH, RAMS & HMO Standards

Every property we service is cleaned using COSHH-compliant products and backed by Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS).
That means your property management paperwork stays audit-ready, and you can prove your commitment to safety and hygiene.

All our cleaners are DBS checked, insured and professionally trained. giving landlords and agents total peace of mind.

How Often Should an HMO Be Cleaned?

Most landlords choose weekly or fortnightly cleaning visits for communal areas, depending on the number of tenants and the property layout.
This frequency keeps the property in top condition, reduces wear and tear, and ensures tenants respect shared spaces.

We also offer ad hoc deep cleans or end of tenancy cleans for individual rooms or full houses when tenants move out.

How Much Does HMO Cleaning Cost in Essex?

Pricing depends on the number of rooms, frequency, and specific services required.
Regular HMO communal area cleaning typically starts from £40-£60 per visit, with discounts for multiple properties or managed portfolios.

All quotes include cleaning materials, equipment, and documentation, so there are no hidden extras.
