A ready-made student investment located directly opposite Selly Oak train station and a short walk from the University of Birmingham. Currently fully licensed and let for the 2025/2026 academic year, the property produces a reported gross yield of 8.1% at the current rent level, offering immediate income for an investor.
The three-bedroom flat sits in a modern block built between 2007–2011 and benefits from double glazing, low-maintenance external fabric and an affordable remaining lease of around 105 years. Accommodation includes three double bedrooms, a communal living room and a fitted kitchen — configuration that appeals to shared student tenancies and HMO licensing requirements already in place.
Notable practical points: heating is by electric room heaters (no mains gas), broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and local crime statistics are high. The living room description notes areas needing work, so buyers should budget for cosmetic repair or refurbishment to maximise rental demand and sustain returns.
This property targets investors seeking immediate rental income in a proven student neighbourhood. Its location, licence status and proximity to transport are major strengths, but expect ongoing management needs typical of student lets and factor in utility and maintenance considerations tied to electric heating and broadband limitations.
