A Multi-unit Freehold Block (MUFB)is a block of self-contained units on a single freehold title. Any element of commercial usage is unacceptable.
Small MUFB (Available in CHL 1 & CHL 2 ranges)
Blocks with up to 6 self-contained units where there is no HMO element.
Each unit must have separate services
Large MUFB (Available in CHL 2 range only)
Blocks with between 7 and 10 self-contained units or any MUFB which is a ‘Hybrid MUFB’.
Blocks containing units with shared services considered.
Hybrid MUFB
If any element within a MUFB property would be defined as a HMO, then the property will be defined as a Hybrid Multi-Unit property. The HMO element must adhere to our HMO criteria. Hybrid MUFBs require a Large MUFB product, even if there are fewer than 7 units in the block.
