A bright, top-floor Victorian flat offered with an HMO licence in place until August 2027, ideal for investors or sharers. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen is flooded with light from large double-glazed windows and benefits from high ceilings and period character. Three double bedrooms — two with walk-in wardrobe space — plus generous built-in storage and a large walk-in cupboard with attic access make the layout practical and low-maintenance.
The property sits in a central, well-connected Tollcross location close to universities, public transport and city amenities, supporting strong rental demand from students and commuters. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, giving immediate appeal to professional sharers and remote workers. The flat is sold with furniture, fixtures and appliances as seen, simplifying a buy-to-let start-up.
Buyers should note the property is B-listed within a conservation area; this will complicate some alterations and may add consent costs. The home is freehold and currently has an HMO licence in place, but the licence expiry in 2027 means ongoing regulatory compliance is required. EPC rating C and Council Tax Band C are practical positives; the wider area is classified as deprived, which can affect capital-growth expectations.
Overall this is a turn-key HMO investment with strong immediate income potential and low everyday maintenance, balanced by listed-building restrictions and the need to manage licence renewals and local market factors.
