For HMO landlords

Repairs for every room, without the group chat.

Every room gets its own QR code, so tenants get answers from Cosmo day or night, and repairs reach you as finished job reports. Built for self-managing HMO landlords.

Why HMOs are different

More tenants means more messages. Shared kitchens and bathrooms mean nobody’s sure whose problem it is. And every time a room changes hands, someone new needs to know how the heating works. Kovely is built around rooms, not just properties, so it fits the way you actually let.

How Kovely fits an HMO

  • A QR code for every room.Each room has its own link, so every report is logged against the right room.

  • Shared areas covered.Problems in the kitchen, bathroom or hallway are logged against the property, not one tenant.

  • New tenant, same answers.When a room changes hands, Cosmo already knows the house: Wi-Fi, heating, where the fuse box is.

  • A record, room by room.Every message, photo and invoice is dated and logged, so you can see what was done and when.

  • You stay in control.You approve every job, and emergencies reach you by SMS straight away.

What it looks like

FRIDAY, 10PM

The shared kitchen sink is blocked.

Room 4 scans the QR code. Cosmo talks them through the checks you’ve set up. Still blocked, so Cosmo writes the job report with photos and logs it against the kitchen, not Room 4. You approve it on Saturday morning. Cosmo sends it to your plumber, chases until a time is agreed, and keeps Room 4 updated.

What it costs for an HMO

You pay per lettable unit, and each room let on its own tenancy is one unit.

One 6-bed HMO
6 units, £29 a month + VAT (the monthly minimum)
Three 6-bed HMOs
18 units, £36 a month + VAT

Good to know

Yes, and Kovely creates them for you. Shared areas are covered by the property.
Nothing to reprint. The room’s QR code stays the same, and every tenant gets their own private conversation, so a new tenant never sees the previous tenant’s messages. Want to switch off the old link? Regenerate it in one tap and print the new QR code.
Each report reaches you separately, logged against the room or the shared area, so you can see straight away how many rooms are affected.
Kovely doesn’t manage licences or compliance. It does keep a dated record of every repair, room by room, if you ever need to show what was done and when.

“Repair messages were taking over my week. When I saw how Kovely writes up a job before it reaches my plumber, I put my houses on it straight away.”

Good communication is the difference between a happy tenant and an 11pm call. Kovely makes that automatic.
