Summary - 141a, Cathays Terrace CF24 4HW
9 bed 5 bath Terraced
Immediate rental income from a 6-bed HMO plus three one-bedroom flats close to the university.
Chain free freehold investment property, fully let on purchase
A robust income-producing terrace in the heart of Cathays, currently arranged as a six-bedroom HMO plus three self-contained one‑bed flats. All units are let, providing immediate rental income and making this a straightforward purchase for a landlord seeking an off-the-shelf student/professional asset close to Cardiff University and local amenities.
The building retains Victorian character externally with a stone façade and high ceilings, while many internal areas are functional and fit-for-purpose for multi-let use. Recent double glazing and a modern kitchen in at least one flat reduce short-term capital expenditure. Main heating is gas boiler and radiators and there is excellent mobile and fast broadband—useful for student and professional tenants.
Buyers should note this is a compact terraced property on a modest footprint with no visible rear garden and an adjoining commercial unit. The walls are listed as granite/whinstone with no assumed insulation, so thermal upgrades and insulation works may be required to improve energy efficiency. The wider area scores as very deprived, which supports rental demand but may limit capital-growth expectations compared with more affluent neighbourhoods.
This chain-free freehold suits an investor focused on yield and immediate occupancy. There is also scope for asset management — targeted refurbishment, energy-efficiency improvements, or reconfiguration — to increase net rental income and long-term value, but purchasers should allow budget for fabric upgrades and consult on HMO compliance where necessary.
