Summary - 19 TALWORTH STREET CARDIFF CF24 3EJ
4 bed 2 bath Terraced
Immediate rental income near Cardiff University and City Road amenities.
Currently let at £2,175 pcm, income-producing HMO
A ready-made HMO investment in Roath, currently let at £2,175 pcm and producing immediate income. The mid‑terraced Victorian property has four lettable bedrooms (three doubles plus attic conversion), two reception rooms and a modern fitted kitchen — all arranged over approximately 1,400 sq ft. Let until August 2026 with a 5‑person HMO licence noted until 2029, the purchase offers rental continuity and no onward chain.
The house sits just off City Road, close to Cardiff University, shops and frequent bus routes, making it attractive to students and young professionals. Externally there is a low‑maintenance paved rear garden. Heating is by mains‑gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed (installation date unknown).
Important considerations: the area records high crime and very high deprivation levels, and council tax is above average. The property is a period build (c.1900–1929) with sandstone/limestone walls and assumed lack of wall insulation, so energy efficiency and longer‑term maintenance or upgrade costs should be factored into investment returns. Plot size is small and the property is mid‑terrace, limiting extension potential.
Suitable for buy‑to‑let investors seeking an income‑producing HMO in a student/professional neighbourhood, this freehold property requires routine upkeep and possible fabric improvements to improve energy performance and reduce ongoing maintenance costs. The current tenancy offers immediate yield but review tenancy terms and local management requirements before purchase.
