Stuart will share during his presentation big changes that are happening in the HMO (House of Multiple Occupation) world and his transition into the hotel sector.
PROFESSIONAL CO-LIVING
The HMO world is going through an evolution into a new type of product. Stuart had spotted an opportunity to disrupt the HMO market and re-imagine shared living for working professionals. His design-led approach provides unique customer-centric spaces for people to live, work and play. The Co-Living Spaces experience combines; community, inspired social spaces, smart technology, enhanced facilities and snug bedrooms.
SMART BOUTIQUE HOTELS
Serviced accommodation is the hot strategy at the moment, however with local legislation on the horizon this could change things dramatically for buy2let investors. With these future changes in mind Stuart and his business partner Carly Houston are rolling out a chain of Smart Boutique Hotels in Brighton with a focus on great design, comfort and technology. These are a new type of self service hotel offering; convenient keycode locks, digital check-in, luxurious sleep experience, superfast WIFI and beautifully designed bedrooms.
During Stuart's presentation you will learn:
How the HMO market is changing
How to create a unique product on market
The future of the HMO
Risks to serviced accommodation
How hotels operate
Changes to the hotels sector
Stuart will demonstrate that it is possible to disrupt the market and create something unique no matter what the size of your project.
