This freehold HMO presents three self-contained flats (3-bed, 2-bed, 1-bed) arranged over basement, middle and top floors, marketed specifically to investors. Located within easy walking distance of Treforest Train Station and the University of South Wales, the property benefits from strong student demand and is HMO-licensed with tenants expected for the next academic year. Advertised gross yield is 11.74% (£2,495 pcm + bills).
The building is a Victorian end-terrace of sandstone/limestone construction, double-glazed and heated by electric room heaters. EPC is D with potential to improve to C; walls are assumed uninsulated which limits energy efficiency. The overall internal size is small (approx. 550 sq ft), so individual flats are compact and likely best suited to student occupiers rather than families.
Key advantages for investors are the location, HMO licence, imminent tenancies and low council tax (Band A). Material drawbacks include dated services and heating, probable lack of wall insulation, modest EPC, and the property sitting in a very deprived area — factors that may affect long-term capital growth and maintenance costs. The building will require ongoing upkeep and some modernization to improve energy performance and long-term lettability.
