Housing as a means, not an end : the health and wellbeing of HMO residents in Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Irving, Adele

Abstract

Nationally, there is limited understanding of the ‘lived’ experiences of residents of large Houses
in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), operating at the bottom end of the private rented market ,and
the inequalities associated with living in these properties. This research aims to address
knowledge gaps regarding HMOs in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, with a particular focus on: entry
routes, the demographics and service needs of residents, property conditions, management
practices and the impacts of living in HMOs on health and wellbeing. The findings outlined in
this report are underpinned by 19 stakeholder interviews, 12 interviews with HMO residents and
19 interviews with supported accommodation residents.
