- Small rear garden and modest overall plot size
- Solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation — energy improvements recommended

A five-bedroom end-of-terrace HMO offered fully tenanted and licensed — ideal for investors seeking immediate rental income in a prime student area. The property sits on Wigan Road within easy reach of the university, local shops and transport, and benefits from a long narrow plan with communal living space and a converted loft bedroom. Off-street parking for multiple cars and a small rear garden are unusual pluses for this location.
The house is traditional solid-brick construction from the 1930s–40s, double-glazed and gas centrally heated. Its current EPC is 63 (D) with potential to reach 84 (B), so modest energy improvements could raise value and tenant appeal. Freehold tenure and low council tax band add to the investment case.
Be clear about constraints: the plot and garden are small, the property sits beside commercial/industrial buildings limiting outlook to the side and rear, and the area records above-average crime. The house is presented for student occupation and may require cosmetic modernisation and insulation upgrades to maximise returns and long-term capital growth.
Overall this is a turnkey student-let investment: compliant with HMO licensing and producing immediate income, but buyers should allow budgets for targeted upgrades and factor the urban setting into rental strategy.
