Double glazing fitted before 2002; may need upgrading for efficiency

Listing shows inconsistent bedroom details—verify exact room count
This mid-terrace Victorian property sits in the heart of Selly Oak, a high-demand student neighbourhood minutes from the University of Birmingham and local transport. Presented as a small but workable HMO, it currently accommodates six student tenants and offers clear potential to increase rental returns with targeted refurbishment and reconfiguration.
The house’s period brick facade and proximity to amenities make it appealing to landlords seeking steady occupancy. Internally some rooms are in good, contemporary condition, but the property is described as a fixer-upper in places and would benefit from modernization, improved insulation, and possible reconfiguration to maximise rental income.
Practical considerations include on-street parking only, double glazing installed before 2002, solid brick walls with no assumed insulation, and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Council tax banding is reported as B but some listing details (bedroom count) are inconsistent and should be verified by survey and solicitor before purchase.
This is a clear buy-to-let opportunity for an investor experienced with HMO management and refurbishment. The property’s location and steady local demand give it strong income potential, but factor in renovation costs and professional checks to confirm layout, compliance, and exact room count.
