Summary - 195, Dawlish Road B29 7AW
6 bed 3 bath House
Six-bed investment near university with clear refurbishment upside.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace in prime Selly Oak student area
A mid-terrace Victorian property in Selly Oak offering a clear HMO investment proposition within walking distance of the University of Birmingham and local hospitals. The house is freehold, double-glazed (installed before 2002) and currently presented as a student letting that can sleep six occupants, giving immediate rental potential in a high-demand student neighbourhood.
The layout and solid-brick construction provide good reconfiguration and refurbishment potential to boost rental yields, but the property is a small footprint and shows signs of needing modernisation. Insulation is assumed absent in the original solid walls, and some windows and interior fittings will likely benefit from upgrading to meet contemporary tenant expectations and energy-efficiency standards.
Practical strengths include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — all attractive for student and young-professional tenants. On-street parking, average local crime rates and strong nearby amenities (shops, transport links, university) support steady occupancy, though parking and outdoor space are limited.
This is best suited to an investor or landlord comfortable with a refurbishment project to realise higher rents. Important facts such as council tax band and some services should be verified by a solicitor; buyers should allow budget for updating heating controls, insulation and interior works to maximise returns.
