This is a property that has clearly been lovingly cared for by its current self-managing landlords. Having been successfully rented for a number of years, it has been maintained to a very good standard throughout and is a real credit to its current owners. For an investor looking for an HMO that has been properly looked after, rather than simply run as a rental, this one really stands out.
The accommodation extends to approximately 1,312 sq ft and offers a particularly practical HMO layout, with five letting rooms, a separate communal lounge, spacious kitchen/diner, two shower rooms and an additional WC.
Importantly for an HMO buyer, the property benefits from a Certificate of Existing Lawful Development confirming its established use as a five-bedroom HMO (Class C4).
Investment Figures
For our working figures, we have used a conservative rent of £525 pcm per room. There is evidence of rooms achieving higher rents within the surrounding area; however, based on the market as it stands today, we feel £525 per room is a sensible figure for an investor to work from.
5 rooms × £525 pcm = £2,625 pcm
Projected annual income: £31,500
Gross yield at £270,000: approximately 11.7%
Only a small increase to approximately £540 pcm per room would take the gross yield to around 12%, giving some potential for rental growth over time.
Previous rental history (September 2025 to August 2026): four long-term tenants were paying £110 per week, with rents intentionally kept unchanged, while the fifth room achieved £125 per week with a new tenant.
Being sold empty also gives the incoming landlord the opportunity to choose their own tenants and establish their own rents from day one, rather than inheriting existing tenancy arrangements.
The property also comes with useful compliance documentation already in place. The electrical installation has a Satisfactory EICR dated June 2026, with the next periodic inspection recorded for June 2031. Ace Fire Alarms & Security also carry out an annual inspection and test of the Grade D fire alarm system, with servicing records available.
