This freehold, purpose-built mid-terrace HMO is presented as a high-yield investment in Horfield, fully let and producing approximately £92.4k pa from a 10-bed, 8-bath layout plus a separate retail unit. The property benefits from an A-rated EPC, 21 solar panels and a 5kW battery, which reduce running costs and support tenant appeal to students and professionals.
The building was converted for HMO use in 2019 and is sold subject to existing tenancies; all bedrooms and white goods are included. There is clear upside: a large attic could potentially provide 2–3 extra letting rooms subject to consents, increasing income if authorised. The retail unit to the frontage is on a new three-year lease, adding diversification to rental income.
Buyers should note this lot is sold at live online auction with a buyer’s premium (£1,800 inc VAT) and an extended eight-week completion. The property sits in a more deprived ward with compact communal spaces and a small courtyard garden. Internal room sizes are likely modest, typical of urban HMOs, and some viewers may prefer to confirm HMO compliance and fire/building-safety arrangements via the legal pack.
Overall, this is a turnkey, energy-efficient HMO investment with immediate income and practical scope for uplift, best suited to investors comfortable buying at auction and managing HMO tenancies and potential refurbishment consents.
