HMO-ready five-bedroom terrace with immediate rental potential near Reading centre.
HMO layout in place — immediate rental income potential
This mid-terrace, early 20th-century house in central Reading is offered freehold and currently arranged as a five-bedroom property with six bathrooms and an existing HMO setup, presenting immediate rental potential. The property sits close to local shops, transport links and key employers, making it attractive to students, professionals or multi-tenant rental demand. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical for modern renters.
Internally the home is compact (approx. 980 sq ft) with small to narrow rooms and practical built-in storage. A contemporary kitchen and double glazing (installed post-2002) reduce immediate maintenance in those areas. Council tax is described as affordable, which helps running costs for tenants or an owner-occupier.
Buyers should note material issues: the plot and garden are small and parking is on-street with a residents’ permit only. The property is solid brick with no assumed cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal efficiency and heating running costs may be needed. The size and room layouts are best suited to buy-to-let investors, HMO operators or purchasers prepared to refurbish for improved rental yield or comfort.
