An established Victorian mid-terrace in the heart of Chester’s student quarter, 19 West Lorne Street is presented as a fully licensed, furnished 5-bedroom HMO. The property has recently had its HMO licence renewed and is offered freehold with a ready-to-rent layout and modern kitchen — set up to generate immediate income for a buy-to-let investor targeting strong student demand.
Internally the house comprises five double bedrooms, two modern bathrooms and a communal living room. The accommodation is described in very good condition with a recently fitted kitchen and built-in appliances; furnishing is included, reducing initial re-letting costs and downtime between tenancies. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical advantages for student tenants.
Key strengths are location and compliance: walking distance to the University of Chester and city centre, low local crime, and an up-to-date HMO licence. Projected net income is quoted at approximately £32,000 per annum, making this a high-yield opportunity in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood.
Material points to note: the property is a traditional solid-brick terrace likely without wall insulation and the exact glazing install date is unknown — future energy-efficiency improvements and associated costs are possible. External private space is very small (small forecourt only) and on-street parking is the norm. The local area is classified as deprived overall, though it supports reliable student rental demand. Prospective purchasers should verify income figures, tenancy agreements, and carry out a full survey before purchase.
