A Victorian mid-terrace with strong rental credentials in Acocks Green. The property is currently configured and operated as a five-bedroom HMO producing circa £19,000 pa from council tenants, offering immediate income for a hands-off investor. Internally it combines period bay-window street frontage with contemporary living areas and a fully fitted communal kitchen and usable rear garden.
The house is solid brick construction (c.1900–1929) with double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler and radiators, and a single family bathroom. The plot is small and room sizes are generally small-to-medium, so rental layouts suit single-occupancy tenants or shared living. Council tax is described as cheap, and broadband and mobile signal are good for tenants.
Notable issues and actions for buyers: the walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation (solid brick), so energy efficiency upgrades may be needed. The area is described as very deprived with average crime; factor in management requirements and potential voids. There is a single bathroom serving multiple letting rooms and the property’s current HMO use and licensing should be verified with the local authority. Buyers seeking capital growth should budget for insulation, potential refurbishment and ongoing HMO management costs.
This is a hands-on, income-producing opportunity in a large conurbation location near schools and community amenities. It will suit investors wanting immediate yield with scope for rental growth after targeted upgrades, or an owner-occupier willing to regularise or reconfigure the layout — subject to checks on the current five-bed HMO setup.
