The HMO Next Door – 7 Drive-By Checks On Local HMOs (Pilot Tour)

This is the first episode of my new HMO Tour series, where I drive around local neighbourhoods and document what’s really happening on our streets.

For this pilot run, I stayed in the car — simple drive-by observation from a resident’s point of view. Even with that limited view, the patterns were impossible to ignore:

✔ Overflowing bins
✔ Extra waste that clearly doesn’t belong
✔ General mess and poor upkeep
✔ And yes… the trademark thrown-out mattress made an appearance

But the most intriguing moment came at one particular stop: an abandoned house sitting right next to an active HMO. It was the only point on the trip that was worth getting out for a closer look, and a perfect example of what happens when areas start slipping and nobody steps in.

This video is simply the start.
A test. A warm-up.
There are dozens more streets, more properties, and more stories to uncover.

Join me on the first of many HMO Tours as we begin documenting the real impact HMOs are having across the UK.
