A compact four-bedroom end-of-terrace HMO on Selly Hill Road, offered chain-free with an Approved Certificate of Lawful Use. The property is fully let to students, generating current rental income of £26,416 per annum with tenancies secured until summer 2026. Historically it has recorded zero voids for over a decade, demonstrating strong, consistent demand in this cosmopolitan student neighbourhood close to the University of Birmingham.
The house is freehold and sits on a small plot with approximately 710 sq ft of accommodation laid out in a linear plan. Period Tudor Revival frontage and bay windows provide kerb appeal, but the interior requires maintenance and modernisation to maximise rental value. There is clear scope to reconfigure or extend subject to planning, offering immediate value-add potential for experienced investors.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size and modest garden, which limit family-market appeal but suit the HMO/student-let model. Maintenance needs and likely upgrade costs are material — factor refurbishment and possible HMO compliance works into acquisition budgeting. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and there is no flooding risk.
In short, this is a rock-solid, income-producing asset for a hands-on investor seeking stable cashflow and short-term uplift through refurbishment or reconfiguration. Its proximity to university facilities and local amenities keeps demand high, making it a practical addition to a lettings portfolio.
