High-yield nine-bed near Watford Met Line — ready for professional tenants.
Nine-bedroom HMO layout with five bathrooms, two en-suites.
This nine-bedroom semi-detached property on Hagden Lane is presented as an HMO-ready investment in a prime Watford commuter location. With five bathrooms including two en-suites and a large open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, the layout targets working professionals and students seeking convenient transport links to London via Watford Metropolitan Line.
Practical features include a rear driveway providing off-street parking for several cars, a paved low-maintenance garden, and three storeys of lettable accommodation. The property is freehold and offered with no upper chain, supporting a quicker transaction for an investor seeking rental income sooner rather than later.
Notable defects and considerations are set out plainly: the house is an older build (1930s–1940s) with solid brick walls assumed without cavity insulation, and double glazing was installed before 2002. The overall internal area is relatively small for nine bedrooms (approx. 1,141 sq ft), so many rooms are compact. Measurements and the working condition of appliances/services have not been independently verified — a full survey and compliance checks for HMO licensing, electrics and fire safety are recommended.
For an investor, the property offers immediate lettable potential in an affluent yet densely populated commuter town. There is clear scope to increase rental value and energy performance through refurbishment works (insulation, modern glazing, system checks). Factor in refurbishment and compliance costs when assessing the yield and timescale to full occupancy.
