A ready-made HMO investment in the heart of Aberystwyth, this five-bedroom mid-terrace is fully let for the 2025–26 academic year and benefits from an HMO licence allowing up to six rooms — clear upside for rental income. The property combines well-proportioned living spaces, a practical kitchen and utility, and a usable basement for storage or future adaptation (basement ceiling height 5'11").
Construction is Victorian granite mid-terrace stock, double-glazed, and heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators. The small enclosed rear yard and central location put university, rail and town amenities within easy walking distance — a strong draw for student tenants and short walking commutes.
Material points to note: the plot is very small and the area records very high crime and significant deprivation, which may affect long-term capital appreciation and lettability outside the student market. The external walls are likely uninsulated (as-built granite), glazing install date is unknown and some updating or insulation work may be required to improve EPC and tenant comfort. The low basement ceiling limits full conversion potential.
For an investor seeking immediate rental income with scope to increase yields by adding a sixth bedroom or modest refurbishments, this property offers a rare town-centre HMO in a seaside university town. Owners seeking a family home should factor in the student-focused neighbourhood and limited external space.
