This split-level five-bedroom maisonette in a quiet Battersea cul-de-sac is presented newly refurbished and configured as an HMO, making it immediately lettable for investors seeking steady income. The property extends to approximately 993 sq ft across two floors, with a large kitchen-diner, separate utility room, and a master bedroom with a private balcony. Two bathrooms and double glazing add practical comfort for sharers or a family setup.
Financially the flat is a clear investment play: currently let as an HMO with an estimated rental yield of around 6%, affordable council tax (Band C), low service charge (£1,070 per year) and no ground rent noted. Its location close to Battersea Park, Clapham Junction and Battersea Power Station (Northern Line) supports rental demand from professionals and students.
Material considerations are straightforward and disclosed: the property is leasehold with 86 years remaining, which may affect mortgage availability and future valuation; buyers should seek lease-extension costs and lender guidance. The building is ex-local authority and was constructed between 1950–1966 with solid brick walls (assumed no insulation), so future thermal upgrades could be considered.
Overall this property suits buy-to-let investors seeking an immediately income-producing asset in a well-connected, affluent pocket of SW11. Owner-occupiers could also adapt the layout, but the shortish lease and HMO setup make it particularly compelling for investors prepared to manage or convert tenancy arrangements.
