This five-bedroom HMO maisonette on Henleaze Road presents a clear income opportunity in a prime high‑street location. Arranged over two upper floors above commercial premises, the property benefits from an existing HMO licence, full occupancy potential and a private rear courtyard — features that support straightforward tenant demand and low communal management requirements.
Internally the layout is low‑maintenance: an open-plan kitchen/living/dining hub, two shower rooms and five lettable bedrooms spread across about 1,300 sq ft. The building is a Victorian mid‑terrace with period character, double glazing (post‑2002) and gas central heating. Lease details are investor‑friendly: 125‑year lease from 2005 with c.100 years remaining and a nominal £10 pa ground rent.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is leasehold, rooms are generally small and the conversion is above active commercial units, so some windows face the high street. The building has solid brick walls (no built-in insulation assumed) — potential buyers may want to budget for energy improvements or ongoing maintenance. The local area shows high crime statistics, which can affect lettings and insurance costs in some cases.
This is best suited to an investor seeking an HMO asset with immediate rental income and minimal void risk. There is an option to purchase with tenants in situ and no onward chain, enabling a quick completion for a cash or mortgage-dependent investor comfortable with a leasehold, urban HMO property.
