A substantial, registered HMO positioned for immediate rental returns close to Bangor University. The property is licenced and currently generates approximately £39,000 per year, giving an attractive gross yield of around 11.8% at the asking price. Internally the house has recently been remodelled and decorated to a high standard, with a fully fitted kitchen, boiler central heating and uPVC double glazing. The layout provides seven bedrooms (five doubles, two singles), three modern shower rooms and a generous lounge—designed for communal student living and straightforward management.
Its central location is a primary strength: a short walk to campus, shops, social venues, public transport and the main town centre. The two-storey Victorian terraced building sits on a small plot with an enclosed rear yard and easy access to a public car park. The solid-brick construction, period facade and recent internal upgrades mean minimal immediate capital expenditure is likely on finishes.
Buyers should note material negatives clearly. The property is in an area classified as very deprived with a very high crime rate, which can affect tenant mix, management and insurance costs. The plot is small and external communal/green space is limited. Walls are assumed solid brick with no added cavity insulation, so ongoing heating costs and secondary maintenance on an older building fabric are possible. Tenants are primarily students, so expect higher turnover and wear.
This is a purpose-suited investment for a landlord targeting the student market who wants HMO compliance and instant income. It offers immediate cash flow and low vacancy risk given the location, balanced by higher management intensity and local area challenges.
