A rare HMO-ready investment in the heart of Walthamstow: this 4-bedroom, 2-bath flat sits above commercial premises on Forest Road and is currently let on an HMO licence. Accommodation is arranged over multiple levels (1st, 2nd and loft) and extends to about 1,102 sq ft, offering immediate rental income and flexible room configurations for continuing HMO use or owner-occupation.
The property is offered leasehold but comes with the option to purchase the freehold, a meaningful advantage for a buy-to-let investor wanting longer-term control. Location is a key strength — close to Blackhorse Road Underground and surrounded by shops, cafés and established amenities, supporting strong tenant demand in this major conurbation with low local crime and fast broadband.
Practical points are clear: the flat is described as in good condition, but it sits above commercial premises which can bring occasional noise or servicing activity. The tenure and any conditions attached to the HMO licence and commercial ground-floor use should be checked during legal due diligence. Overall, this is a compact, income-focused opportunity for investors aware of leasehold and mixed-use considerations.
