** Est. GROSS YIELD RETURN ON INVESTMENT - 12.68% ** - A substantial freehold HMO investment opportunity, centrally located and offering exceptional flexibility, diverse income and long-term redevelopment potential.
The residential element is arranged to provide 16 HMO rooms, configured across four self-contained residential units, each comprising four lettable rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities. The residential accommodation will be sold with vacant possession, allowing an incoming purchaser to re-let, reconfigure, or repurpose the space to suit their preferred investment strategy.
The property is fully licensed where applicable, with compliant fire alarm systems and fire regulations in place, ensuring a smooth transition for continued HMO operation or alternative use. Of the 16 rooms, four have been recently renovated, with a further eight recently redecorated, providing a strong balance between immediate lettability and further value-add potential through continued improvement.
In addition to the residential accommodation, the property benefits from a separate commercial unit, currently let to a long-standing beauty parlour tenant. The commercial lease has just under three years remaining, offering a secure and established income stream with the tenant remaining in situ.
Location
Occupying a central town location, the property is ideally positioned close to a wide range of amenities and enjoys excellent access to local and far-reaching transport links. This positioning supports consistent rental demand across both the residential and commercial elements.
