Summary - 2 HARRISON ROAD SOUTHAMPTON SO17 3TJ
4 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free 4-bed HMO near university — strong rental income potential.
Chain free four-bedroom semi-detached period house
A four-bedroom semi-detached 1930s house situated east of Southampton University, currently operating as a long-established House in Multiple Occupation (HMO). The property is chain free and has demonstrated strong rental demand — tenants for 2025/26 are paying a combined £16,200 — making it suited to investors or landlords targeting the student/professional let market.
Inside, the layout includes four bedrooms (only three currently used for lettings), a communal living room, kitchen, utility, downstairs cloakroom and an upstairs shower room. The house is finished to a decent standard but would benefit from updating and possible internal reconfiguration to increase lettable rooms and yield; there is scope for extension subject to the necessary consents.
Outside features include private off-street parking and a low-maintenance rear garden. Practical details: freehold tenure, double glazing fitted before 2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, approx. 850 sq ft, and a modest council tax band. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting student and professional tenants.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the property sits in a deprived area and in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood which influences tenant type and seasonality; only one shower room serves four bedrooms; the house will need some modernisation to maximise returns; and any extension or change of use would require planning consent.
