A five-bedroom Victorian terraced townhouse currently set up as a licenced HMO — offered for sale at auction with strong short-term rental potential. The property is Freehold and placed close to Swansea city centre, local shops and transport links, making it appealing for buy-to-let investors or a small-scale flip.
The house requires full refurbishment throughout: visible damp and mould, dated fixtures, and general maintenance are present. The layout provides flexibility to retain a five-bed HMO or convert to a 3–4 bedroom dwelling with additional reception space to suit owner-occupiers or higher-yield lets.
Buyers should note this is an auction sale (29/10/25) with immediate exchange on fall of the hammer, a 5% deposit plus a buyer’s premium and a 28-day completion requirement. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and the plot is small, factors to weigh into refurbishment budgets and rental projections.
For experienced investors or developers comfortable managing renovation and tenancy setup, this is a low-entry-price opportunity in a popular urban location with strong demand for rental stock. For first-time renovators, obtain the legal pack and survey first to confirm costs linked to damp remediation and other repairs.
