A six-bed HMO in Palmerston Road offered freehold and fully let, designed for buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental income. The property comprises five double bedrooms and one single, each with an en-suite shower cubicle, plus a communal kitchen/lounge and basement facilities. It reports an approximate annual rental return of £46,000 and includes two off-street parking spaces to the rear.
Located within walking distance of Southampton Central shops and the University of Southampton, the house benefits from excellent transport links, fast broadband and strong tenant demand from students. The mid-terrace Victorian townhouse has gas central heating and double glazing installed post-2002, helping with running costs and comfort. Council tax band is low, and there is no flood risk recorded.
Material considerations for buyers: the building dates from before 1900 and external walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy performance may be limited without upgrade. The area is classified as very deprived with very high local crime levels — factors that can affect management costs, insurance and long-term capital growth. The plot is small with limited external space and the property appears as a dated exterior that may require ongoing maintenance or cosmetic investment.
This opportunity suits investors focused on secure rental yield and immediate cashflow rather than long-term refurbishment projects for resale. Buyers should arrange their own surveys and HMO compliance checks (electrical, fire safety, room sizes, licensing) before completion.
