High-yield student-focused block near station and university.
Freehold Victorian building converted into five separate flats
A substantial detached Victorian property converted into five separate flats, offered freehold with tenants in situ. The block produces a headline yield of around 14% based on the asking price, giving immediate rental income for a buyer seeking returns rather than a refurbishment project. Several flats include one bedroom and one bathroom each, creating straightforward tenant profiles and income streams.
Location is a core strength: the building sits on Wood Road within walking distance of Treforest train station and close to the University of South Wales, making it particularly attractive to students and short-term professional lets. Local shops, pubs and services are all nearby, supporting reliable demand in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood.
Important negatives are stated plainly. The property is not HMO licensed, which may restrict certain licensing routes and lettings strategies. The surrounding area is recorded as very deprived with average crime and average mobile and broadband speeds; this can limit capital-growth expectations and may influence tenant screening and insurance costs. Flats are sold with tenants in situ, so vacant possession is not included and management responsibilities transfer to the buyer.
Overall this is a clear, income-led opportunity for investors comfortable with student rental markets and with plans for ongoing asset management. Viewings are recommended to inspect communal condition and confirm rental arrangements, licences and service obligations before purchase.
