Summary - 2 Howard Street RG1 7XS
9 bed 9 bath Semi-Detached
Turnkey nine-bed property with strong income and central transport links.
Fully licensed 9-bedroom HMO, all rooms en-suite
A rare turnkey HMO opportunity in central Reading, this fully licensed nine-bedroom property delivers immediate rental income from professional tenants. Recently refurbished to a high-end specification and converted to meet current HMO standards, the building blends Victorian external character with contemporary interiors, modern kitchens and en-suite bathrooms. EPC rating C.
Positioned close to Reading town centre and the mainline station, the house benefits from strong rental demand and minimal voids, producing a gross annual income of £106,380. The property is offered chain free and currently fully occupied, making it suitable for investors seeking an operational asset with proven performance.
Be aware of local factors affecting long-term management: the area records higher-than-average crime and is classified as deprived, which can influence tenant turnover and insurance premiums. Council tax is above average and should be factored into operational costs.
Overall this is a high-spec, income-producing HMO in a prime commuter location. The property’s recent conversion (constructed/converted 2022) and excellent transport links make it a straightforward acquisition for a landlord or investor looking for immediate returns and limited short-term work.
