Summary - 5 FOUNDER CLOSE COVENTRY CV4 8BS
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Income-ready student tenancy with immediate cashflow and refurbishment upside.
Estimated gross yield around 8%
A five-bedroom HMO near the University of Warwick offering immediate rental income and an estimated gross yield of around 8%. Tenants are in situ and signed for the 2025 student year, so the property delivers predictable cashflow from day one. The house includes two bathrooms, a fitted kitchen/dining area and communal living space suited to student sharers.
The building is a mid-20th-century, system-built semi-detached with external insulation and double glazing. That construction type is non-standard for some lenders—buyers should confirm mortgage eligibility before committing. The property shows cosmetic wear and would benefit from targeted modernisation to improve rents and long-term appeal.
Location is the main investment draw: close to Warwick University and local transport links, with good mobile signal and fast broadband for tenants. However, the immediate area is classified as very deprived with hampered neighbourhood indicators; crime is average. These factors keep purchase costs and council tax low but may affect long-term capital growth.
This is an investor-focused purchase: strong short-term returns and low vacancy risk thanks to existing tenancies, but expect ongoing management duties, possible refurbishment spend, and lender checks because of the construction type.
