This five-bedroom detached HMO is offered fully tenanted with a current gross income of £33,600 and an indicated yield of 9.6%, making it a clear income-led opportunity for investors. The house combines period exterior character — bay windows, red brick and high ceilings — with a modernised interior including an open-plan kitchen/living area and three ensuite bedrooms, reducing immediate refurbishment needs.
Practical features include freehold tenure, off-street parking and an enclosed courtyard garden, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal which suit student or young-professional lets. The property sits close to Worcester University, local schools and the train station, simplifying lettings and turnover for an investor targeting the rental market around St Johns.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly: the overall internal area is small (approximately 856 sqft) for five bedrooms, the neighbourhood records higher crime and the wider area is relatively deprived which can affect tenant profiles and management overheads. The building is solid-brick, likely with no cavity insulation as-built, so energy-efficiency improvements may be required to meet future standards and reduce running costs.
This is a hands-on investment: it is well-presented and income-producing now, but budget for ongoing management and potential insulation/energy upgrades. For an investor seeking immediate yield from a fully tenanted HMO in a city location, this property offers strong cashflow with clear, manageable areas for future value uplift.
