Let-ready Victorian terrace with modern interior, ideal student investment close to university.
Rented to students for 2024–25; verify tenancy and income
A four-bedroom, two-bath end-of-terrace in the heart of Selly Oak, offered as a freehold at £375,000. The house combines a period red-brick exterior with an updated interior—modern kitchen, contemporary bathroom, and open-plan living with skylight—making it ready for student occupation while retaining scope for further rental optimisation.
Positioned a short walk from the University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Selly Oak station, this property is already set up as a student let for 2024–25. The 1,184 sq ft layout and two bathrooms suit shared occupancy; buying as a hands-off investment is realistic, but buyers should verify current tenancy details and income projections.
Practical drawbacks are clear: on-street parking only, a small plot with limited outdoor space, and the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime — factors that affect tenant demand and management costs. The porch and some external details may need light refurbishment over time despite the modernised interior.
Overall this is a straightforward student-investment opportunity in a prime rental pocket. It will appeal to investors seeking immediate let-ready stock close to the university, while acknowledging the need for active management and attention to exterior maintenance and local safety considerations.
