Summary - 227, Portland Road B17 8LS
6 bed 4 bath Semi-Detached
Large semi for conversion or continued multi-let investment close to city centre.
Six bedrooms with three en‑suites and four bathrooms, HMO-ready layout
A substantial six-bedroom semi-detached house on Portland Road presented as an HMO-ready investment in Edgbaston. The property currently brings in £3,215 pcm when fully let, with assessed potential to reach around £3,600 pcm, offering clear upside for improved management or reconfiguration. Its mix of six bedrooms, three en‑suites and four bathrooms suits multi-let use and reduces void risk.
Practical features support letting: off-street parking, a driveway, a decent rear garden, double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating. The house dates from c.1930–1949 and benefits from good broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for attracting professional tenants and students.
Buyers should factor in the neighbourhood context and property upkeep. The wider area records above-average crime and higher deprivation than city averages; nearby schools vary in Ofsted ratings. The building has solid brick walls likely without added cavity insulation and may need targeted improvements or ongoing maintenance to maximise rent and long-term value.
This freehold property suits a hands-on investor seeking an HMO with immediate income and short‑to‑medium-term rental uplift potential. Viewing recommended to assess room layouts, communal spaces and any refurbishment required to reach the stated higher rental figure.
