Summary - GROUND FLOOR FLAT, 28 ST JAMES AVENUE W13 9DJ
6 bed 3 bath House
Large garden, parking and strong HMO income — renovation required.
Six bedrooms and three bathrooms across three floors
A substantial six-bedroom Victorian semi offers 2,410 sq ft of flexible accommodation on a tree-lined West Ealing street. Currently run as a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO), it is producing an investment yield in excess of 8% and comes with off-street parking, a large rear garden and no onward chain — useful income and immediate availability for investors.
The house needs renovation and modernisation, making it a clear opportunity for those willing to invest in upgrading. The building appears to have solid brick walls with no cavity insulation, double glazing installed before 2002 and an older heating system (mains gas boiler and radiators). These fabric and services items should be factored into a refurbishment budget.
Location strengths include very good transport links (close to the Elizabeth Line), excellent local schools and fast broadband — attractive to young families, students and tenants. Drawbacks to note: the property sits in a higher-crime neighbourhood and requires updating throughout; costs for insulation, windows and general redecoration/repairs are likely.
For investors, this is a ready-made income asset with scope to increase returns through refurbishment or reconfiguration. For an owner-occupier the house converts easily back into a generous family home, subject to renovation and modernisation works.
