This is something that can be done anytime anywhere, as long as you've got an internet connection and a technical device (mobile, tablet, laptop). In this example right here I'll do the centre of Bristol.  

 

Now you've got the average ball park figure of what an average room can go for in the area, after doing this it's good to then look at the rooms available to see the type of quality that's on the market as this will also govern the price per room. You may find that prices can fluctuate up to £200, but when doing your calculations it's important to still work with the average prices to mitigate risks.  

This is something that can also be done anywhere, however you need to ensure that the agents are open for business. In this instance you can call up as a tenant and get an understanding for how much the rent is in the area you're focusing on. You want to make sure that you get the details of the variables you're working with such as: single or double room, furnished or unfurnished, quality of the room, bills included or excluded. A good HMO letting agent will be very helpful when providing information, this is how you can also find out if they'll be a good agent for you if you're looking to hand over your property to a HMO management company.
