A substantial freehold corner property on Whitehall Road with planning allowed on appeal to create a 14‑bed, 8‑bath HMO (c.3,218 sq ft). The scheme is aimed at multi-let investors and offers scope for around £126k gross income pa at £750 pcm per room once converted. The building sits on a decent urban plot with four parking spaces, bin and bike stores — useful practical features for an HMO operator in the city.
The property is sold via live online auction (15 October 2025) with an extended completion period of eight weeks. It is currently arranged as a ground‑floor retail unit with a self‑contained flat above and will be offered with vacant possession. Planning history includes a refused application that was later allowed on appeal (Ref 23/04178/F) and a separate prior approval for a single ground‑floor flat (Ref 24/04145/COU); full drawings and reports are in the legal pack.
Important practical points: the building dates from the 1930–49 period with solid brick walls and pre‑2002 double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, an EPC rating of E, and no flood risk. The area is well connected to the city centre and local amenities, but crime is above average and the property will require refurbishment and HMO compliance works to reach the rental income forecast. Auction buyers should allow for the buyer’s premium, deposit and accelerated purchase process.
