Summary - 4 ELDON ROAD BIRMINGHAM B16 9DP
6 bed 2 bath Terraced
Well-located investment close to universities and hospital, ideal for steady rental demand.
Six-bedroom HMO over three storeys, ready for letting
This freehold Victorian terraced property is set up as a six-bedroom HMO in a busy Edgbaston/University corridor, making it a clear fit for investors targeting student and professional lets. The house totals about 1,128 sqft over three storeys with two bathrooms, a communal kitchen and a modern living room. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent—practical for managed lets and lettings platforms.
Location is the primary value driver: close to universities, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and central transport links, so rooms are likely to see steady demand. The property’s period features and red-brick exterior give character that can support higher room rents with minimal cosmetic upgrades. Being freehold removes ground-rent costs that can reduce operating complexity.
There are notable constraints to price and management. The building sits in a high-crime, deprived area classed for student digs, which may narrow tenant mix and require careful tenant referencing, security measures, and potentially higher voids or insurance costs. The plot and overall property size are small, and with just two bathrooms for six bedrooms there is limited amenity for tenants; further refurbishment or reconfiguration could improve returns but will require capital.
This is a turn-key HMO with clear upside for an active investor: improve communal facilities, optimise room marketing, or consider modest reconfiguration to add bathrooms. Inspect to assess wear, services and any compliance works for HMO licensing and safety standards before purchase.
