Five bedrooms and two bathrooms—designed for multi-occupancy use
Projected 2025–26 rental income: £29,400; fully let in 2026
Short walk to St John’s Campus, bus routes and local shops
Good-sized rear garden; on-street parking available
EPC rating D — energy improvements likely required

Small plot and overall footprint limits physical expansion options
Built 1900–1929 period property may need cosmetic modernisation
This five-bedroom, early 20th-century terraced house on Rowley Hill Street is a clear HMO-style investment near St John’s Campus. Its proven student demand and forecasted 2025–26 rental income of £29,400 make it attractive for landlords seeking strong yield in a compact, well-connected city location.
Internally the property offers a comfortable lounge, a generously sized kitchen, two bathrooms and five private bedrooms — a layout well suited to multi-occupancy. The rear garden and on-street parking are useful extras for tenants; fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern student living.
Key considerations: the building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation and currently carries an EPC rating of D. These factors point to potential energy-efficiency upgrades (insulation, boiler/controls review) and general modernisation to protect long-term rentalability and reduce running costs. The plot and overall footprint are small, so expansion options are limited.
Overall, this is a practical, income-focused purchase for an investor targeting student lets or multi-let housing. It is largely ready-let and well-located, but budget for energy improvements and cosmetic updating to maintain competitiveness and tenant satisfaction.
