Summary - 14 HOLMSLEY GROVE SOUTH KIRKBY PONTEFRACT WF9 3HT
5 bed 3 bath House of Multiple Occupation
Fully let, high-yield HMO with two en‑suites and driveway parking — sold at auction.
Fully licensed 5‑bed HMO, fully occupied and recently refurbished
A fully licensed, fully refurbished 5-bedroom HMO on Holmsley Grove presented as a turn-key investment. The property is currently fully occupied and achieves a monthly rental income of £2,686, giving an advertised ROI of 13.4%. Two bedrooms have en-suite facilities, and communal areas (including a contemporary kitchen) were upgraded within the last 12 months. Off-street parking for at least two cars, a detached garage and a large, well-maintained rear garden add tenant appeal.
The building is a semi‑detached, early‑20th century red brick house of approximately 110 sq m (1,184 sq ft) over multiple storeys. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). The EPC is D. It sits at the bottom of a cul‑de‑sac close to shops and local amenities, with good transport links for the Pontefract area.
Important considerations: the property is sold at auction with a buyer's premium (1% + VAT, minimums apply) and an upfront payment on reservation. The local area records high crime levels and significant deprivation; these factors can affect long‑term tenant mix, management costs and asset liquidity. The wall construction is cavity as built with no confirmed insulation upgrade (assumed none). EPC D indicates moderate energy performance compared with newer stock.
This lot is aimed at investors seeking immediate rental return from an operational HMO rather than a long refurbishment project. It offers strong short‑term cashflow but buyers should factor in auction fees, local market risk, potential energy‑efficiency improvements and ongoing management in a higher‑crime, very deprived locality.
