Summary - 49 WILLOWFIELD ROAD EASTBOURNE BN22 8AP
6 bed 5 bath Terraced
Chain-free licensed HMO near the seafront — immediate investment opportunity.
Licensed six-bedroom HMO, five bathrooms, ready for rental use
A ready-made six-bedroom licensed HMO in a central seafront pocket of Eastbourne, this mid-terraced Victorian property is offered chain free and currently set up for immediate rental use. The house has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a small rear courtyard, making it straightforward to operate as a high-yield student or professional let close to town, transport links and the promenade.
The building retains period exterior features (bay windows, sash-style glazing) and provides practical heating via a mains-gas boiler and radiators. Fast broadband and a location within a cosmopolitan student and professional neighbourhood support good tenancy demand; nearby amenities and Eastbourne station offer easy commuter links to London and Brighton.
Buyers should note the house sits in a very high crime, very deprived area and has a small overall plot. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and some internal refurbishment or ongoing maintenance may be required—prospective purchasers should commission their own surveys and checks. An offer has been accepted subject to contract but viewings are still available, so any investor should confirm current tenancy status, achievable rents and licensing compliance before committing.
This property suits investors seeking a turn-key HMO close to the seafront, or investors prepared to refresh rooms and manage tenant turnover to maximise income. Its freehold tenure and licence in place reduce initial setup work, but factor in management, potential repair budgets and local area considerations when assessing yield.
