A five-bedroom HMO in the heart of Bristol city centre offering immediate rental income and no onward chain. The property is HMO-licensed and currently achieves over £40,000 pa, making it a straightforward acquisition for a buy-to-let investor or portfolio buyer. Accommodation is arranged over three storeys with a communal basement kitchen, living area, five bedrooms, one bathroom plus a separate WC.
The house retains Georgian period character externally but is compact internally (approx. 1,137 sq ft) and will benefit from modernization. The building, constructed before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls (assumed uninsulated), has scope for targeted upgrades to improve energy performance and tenant appeal. The layout and central location provide good re-letting demand from students and professionals.
Practical considerations: the plot is very small and the property sits on a steep street. The area records very high crime and is classified as deprived, which may influence tenant mix, management demands, and insurance costs. There is one bathroom for five tenants, so communal facilities are limited. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk.
Overall this is a city-centre, chain-free HMO with reliable income and clear uplift potential through refurbishment and operational management, balanced by locality-related lettings and safety considerations.
