Summary - 13 BOURNE STREET EASTBOURNE BN21 3ES
8 bed 8 bath House of Multiple Occupation
Turnkey income-producing HMO close to Eastbourne town centre — licensed for 10 occupants..
Fully licensed HMO for 10 occupants (licensed for 8 households)
A rare, fully licensed HMO in central Eastbourne, offered freehold with an existing licence for up to 10 occupants. The Victorian terraced property is configured as eight en‑suite bedrooms and is currently operated as a well‑run temporary housing let, producing around £96,000 per year. Practical features include a long fitted kitchen with dual hobs and ovens, a generous bay‑windowed lounge, and a separate laundry room with yard access.
The building shows period character—high ceilings and bay windows—but also visible exterior wear and signs of damp in places; the property will suit an investor or operator prepared to carry out targeted renovation and ongoing maintenance. The overall plot is small, and the house sits in a densely populated, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with high local crime and significant area deprivation; take these factors into account when assessing tenancy strategy and insurance costs.
Location is a key strength: short walk to Eastbourne town centre, local amenities, and good rail links to London, Brighton and Gatwick. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, which supports student, professional and temporary‑housing demand. The HMO licence and eight en‑suite rooms make this a turn‑key income asset for landlords experienced with shared housing, or a conversion/refurbishment opportunity to increase value and yield.
Buyers should budget for refurbishment work to resolve damp and cosmetic wear and to ensure long‑term compliance with HMO standards. The property is small in overall size for its footprint, so any expansion potential is limited; returns will rely on occupancy levels, licence continuity and cost‑effective management.
