Multi Unit Freehold Block Mortgages (MUFB’s)

Multi unit freehold blocks, commonly referred to as MUFBs, can represent great opportunities for investors with scope for profitable rental yields.  Not to be confused with Houses of Multiple Occupation or HMOs, these multi unit rentals are typically one property split into self contained flats under one freehold title.

The main characteristics of a multi unit freehold block (MUFB) are:

  • One freehold property split into flats with no individual leases or, albeit not as commonplace, a row of terraced houses under one freehold title
  • Can be conversions or purpose built
  • Each property is completely self contained with its own kitchen and bathroom

Mortgages for a multi unit freehold block (MUFB), sometimes referred to as multi unit buy to lets or +multi unit let mortgages are limited in their availability, especially when compared to buy to let mortgages for HMOs or regular single occupation properties however, there is still an appetite from some lenders to assist.  It’s just about knowing where to look which is where our expert advisors can help.
