A centrally located, five-bedroom HMO arranged over two floors, currently producing a gross income of circa £37,000 per year. Each bedroom has an en-suite and the property includes spacious communal kitchen facilities, gas central heating and double glazing — features that support high letability to students and professionals in this cosmopolitan neighbourhood.
The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with period character to the façade and contemporary kitchen fittings inside. Its town-centre position places shops, transport and amenities within easy walking distance, making it attractive to tenants seeking convenience and strong rental demand.
Buyers should note the property is relatively small internally (approximately 847 sq ft) and sits in an area recorded as very deprived with very high local crime rates — factors that can affect tenant mix, management requirements and insurance costs. The front garden is overgrown and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so some external and internal maintenance or upgrading may be required to maximise long‑term returns.
For an investor seeking an income‑producing HMO close to Eastbourne town centre, this freehold offers immediate cashflow with scope for operational improvements. Prospective purchasers are advised to verify income figures, compliance with HMO licensing and to commission surveys, service checks and energy‑efficiency assessments before purchase.
