6 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Hands-off income near University of Kent with short-term break risk.
Freehold six-bed HMO with full licence in place
A fully licensed six-bedroom HMO offered freehold, currently producing a guaranteed net income of £2,080 pcm until 30 June 2027. The property is managed under a professional let-and-maintenance agreement, providing a largely hands-off income stream for buy-to-let investors and portfolio landlords. Located 1.4 miles from the University of Kent and close to Canterbury city amenities, it suits student-focused lettings.
The mid-20th century semi-detached house has six furnished double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a communal lounge, and a fitted kitchen. Gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC C (69) rating are already in place. Off-street parking and a private rear garden add tenant appeal, while the modest footprint and layout keep running costs comparatively low.
Notable risks are set out plainly: the guaranteed rent agreement contains a landlord six-month break clause which could end the guaranteed income early, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as slow. The property sits in an area with above-average crime levels and the plot and overall size are small, which may limit expansion or conversion potential.
This is a pragmatic acquisition for an investor seeking immediate rental income and HMO-compliant accommodation near a university. It’s best suited to buyers who accept the management arrangement, understand the break clause risk, and are comfortable operating within a small-plot, higher-crime neighbourhood context.
