Summary - 40, Avenue Road SO14 6TU
4 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Freehold HMO-ready house near university and transport links for investor buyers.
C4 planning use permits shared-occupancy (HMO) without change of use
This freehold four-double-bedroom end-of-terrace in central Southampton is built for income. With C4 planning in place and a compact footprint (973 sq ft), the house already functions as a compliant shared rental close to Solent University, Southampton Central station and city amenities — a location that keeps demand high from students and professionals.
Internally the layout is straightforward: bay-fronted lounge, modern kitchen, separate utility room, downstairs WC and an upstairs bathroom serving three bedrooms. The property is gas‑heated via boiler and radiators and has double glazing. Its current setup offers immediate re-let potential with minimal change to the tenancy model.
Buyers should note clear constraints: the plot is small, parking is on-street by permit only, and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average. The interior is serviceable but dated in places and would benefit from standard refurbishment to maximise rents. There is just one full bathroom for four double bedrooms, a factor to consider for tenant comfort and rental yield.
For landlords this is a pragmatic, city-centre investment: freehold tenure, strong ongoing demand, and C4 permitted use reduce conversion hurdles. Factor in modest updating, active neighbourhood management and the permit parking situation when modelling returns.
