Chain-free freehold near the university with proven rental income.
HMO-licensed four-bedroom mid-terrace ideal for investor lettings
A four-bedroom mid-terrace with HMO licence and proven rental history, this Victorian property sits close to Southampton University and local amenities. Offered chain-free and freehold, it presents a straightforward acquisition for investors seeking immediate letting potential or landlords able to refurbish and re-let quickly.
The house has a communal reception room, a fitted kitchen, and one ground-floor bathroom serving four bedrooms. There is a private lawned rear garden with paved patio and concrete-paved forecourt with on-street parking. Services include mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband — useful for student or professional tenants.
The property is a clear renovation project: exterior and interiors are unkempt and dated, and the building is described as a fixer-upper needing modernisation. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so additional energy-efficiency work is likely. The single bathroom for four bedrooms and the small overall plot and living space will influence rental layouts and tenant appeal.
For investors, the combination of an HMO licence, proximity to the university, and prior rental income makes this a value-driven purchase if budgeted for refurbishment. For buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in family home, significant updating will be required. Local area indicators show fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but higher deprivation levels — factors to consider for long-term management and lettings strategy.
