General
What is NEVO?

We are a team of tech enabled, experienced virtual property managers dedicated to helping those responsible for self-managing HMOs (Houses of Multiple Occupation). We exist to relieve fatigue and landlord stress.

Is NEVO for me?

If you’re a self-managing HMO landlord, you probably know the feeling of your phone buzzing at 10pm on a Sunday or having a message coming through while on holiday. As tenant expectations continue to rise, it is creating a sharp rise in landlord stress and anxiety, and if that sounds like you, then we are here to help. We know that new tenant enquiries and dealing with property management queries can feel like an endless, thankless task, which is why we can step in and relieve the pressure.

Do HMO Licences now require a 24/7 contact number?

HMO licences are now requiring a 24/7 maintenance contact for licenced properties. We keep you compliant, for a very low cost per month.

What makes NEVO different from a Highstreet or online agent?

We are a team of professional, tech-enabled virtual property management assistants. Our focus is on filtering communications between you and your tenants, giving you a chance to catch your breath, expand your portfolio and relax. Our mission is to provide complete peace of mind that your communications are managed 24/7.

Is NEVO property management software?

No, there are already some brilliant solutions out there. Our focus is on HMO communications, and we use a combination of live agents and conversation AI to bridge the gap between you and your tenants. We provide instant responses on demand, removing the need for you to always be on call.

Do you work with agents / guaranteed rent operators?

If you have permission to manage and rent rooms within the house you’re advertising, then we want to work with you!

Why doesn’t NEVO collect rent, store documents, perform tenancy checks etc.?

There are lots of solutions out there that will help automate admin and store documents. We have a relentless focus on improving communications between landlords and tenants in the most affordable way possible. That’s where all our development focus goes.
