This Edwardian mid-terrace presents a ready-made investment in Brighton’s Lewes Road student corridor. Currently operated as a four-bedroom licensed HMO, it is let until 02/09/26 producing £2,713 pcm (£32,556 pa). Solar panels are owned outright, reducing running costs and improving net returns.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a generous lounge/diner, separate kitchen and one bathroom. Rooms are standard in size and the house has been extended to the rear; there is potential to reconfigure the layout to a fifth bedroom subject to the usual consents (STNC).
The property is a practical purchase for a landlord targeting students and professionals: short walks to buses, shops and university campuses, with good mobile and broadband. Physical considerations include a small plot and likely need for upgrade works — the building is a solid-brick Edwardian terrace and insulation may be limited, so buyers should allow for modernisation and any HMO compliance updates.
Overall this is a straightforward, income-producing freehold in a prime student locality. It suits an investor looking for immediate rental income with scope to increase yield after modest refurbishment or reconfiguration.
