A rare freehold block in West Kensington, this Victorian conversion comprises 12 self-contained studios currently producing £139,250 per year—equating to a gross yield of about 5.7% at the asking price of £2,450,000. The apartments have proven demand from students and young professionals and have been successfully operated on both short-term and longer AST lets.
The building’s Zone 2 location offers excellent transport links (West Kensington, Barons Court, Hammersmith) and easy access to nearby universities, Olympia and central London employment and cultural hubs—strengths that support high occupancy and letting flexibility. The property’s period features (high ceilings, bay windows) add tenant appeal while compact modern kitchens keep running costs reasonable.
Income can be increased with minor cosmetic updates and active management; current layouts suit continued studio lettings. The property has been used in this configuration since before 2014 and a certificate of lawful use is likely, though this is not guaranteed. Buyers should verify permitted uses and any short-term let licensing requirements with local authorities.
Practical considerations: the building will benefit from planned maintenance and cosmetic investment to maximise rents and yield. Prospective purchasers should carry out a full survey, check fire-safety and HMO compliance where applicable, and confirm any management or refurbishment costs in their financial modelling.
