Explore Article 4 Checker
Manchester’s HMO market delivers some of the UK’s strongest yields, but it’s also one of the most complex to navigate.
M14 postcodes regularly hit 8%+ gross yields, but Manchester City Council’s borough-wide Article 4 Direction means every C3-to-C4 conversion requires full planning permission.
Salford added its own direction in November 2024. Oldham followed in January 2026. The difference between a viable deal and a costly mistake often comes down to a single postcode – and that’s exactly what HMO Checker checks.
Run any Manchester postcode through HMO Checker and get your full planning, density, yield and financial report in seconds.
