Income-producing five-bed near University of Birmingham, newly renovated and let to June 2026.
Five double bedrooms, three bathrooms, sleeps five students
A compact, purpose-ready student house in the heart of Selly Oak, recently refurbished and currently let to a five-student sharer group. The property offers five double bedrooms, three bathrooms and a modern open-plan kitchen-living area, producing a confirmed rental income of £32,240 per year until June 2026.
For buy-to-let investors this delivers a strong gross income (approximately 7.0% gross yield based on the asking price), immediate cashflow and easy lettability due to proximity to the University of Birmingham, Selly Oak station and frequent A38 bus routes. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the mid-terrace Victorian build has double glazing updated after 2002.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the plot and overall internal size are small, the garden is modest, and the area records higher crime rates than average for the city. The property’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs or retrofit work may be a future consideration despite mains gas central heating. Council tax banding is stated by the owner but should be legally verified.
This is a turnkey student investment: newly renovated, income-producing and in a proven student neighbourhood. It will suit investors seeking immediate rental returns with straightforward management — buyers who prioritise long-term capital appreciation or family residential use should note the location and size limitations.
