Chain-free HMO close to University — income potential with manageable outdoor space..
Chain free freehold with six bedrooms (currently HMO)
A versatile six-bedroom semi-detached property currently run as an HMO and offered chain free. Located in Salisbury Village close to the University of Hertfordshire, this freehold house suits investors seeking steady student rental income or buyers wanting flexible room configurations. The accommodation includes a lounge, modern kitchen, utility room, bathroom, ensuite and cloakroom, plus garage and driveway parking.
Built in the early 2000s with double glazing and gas central heating, the house presents straightforward, low-risk maintenance basics. The rear garden is small and manageable and the garage provides useful storage or tenant parking. The layout was originally four bedrooms with dining room and study and can be reconfigured if owner-occupiers prefer a family arrangement rather than HMO use.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime, which will affect lettings, insurance and security costs. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited. Council tax is above average, and ongoing HMO management will be required for investor landlords or owners keeping the property let to multiple occupants.
Overall this is a practical, well-located property for a landlord targeting student and professional tenants, or a buyer prepared to convert rooms back to a traditional family layout. The chain-free status and proximity to local amenities and transport connections are clear advantages, balanced by the higher-crime location and modest external space.
