Description

This substantial stone-built terraced house presents an exciting opportunity for developers, particularly as a five-bedroom HMO. Located conveniently within walking distance of Halifax town centre and The Piece Hall, the property has been stripped back and is ready for renovation, with some initial works already completed. It is being offered with vacant possession, making it ideal for cash buyers looking to invest in a project. Notably, the house is devoid of fixtures and fittings, including kitchens and bathrooms, allowing for complete customization. All main services are connected, and the property benefits from UPVC double glazing. The council tax band is A, with an energy efficiency rating of D.

Confidence: LOW

This substantial five-bedroom terraced house presents a unique opportunity for developers looking to create a high-yield HMO in a location close to Halifax town centre. The property has been fully stripped out, providing a blank canvas for renovation and allowing for significant customization in layout and design. While the lack of existing fixtures, including a kitchen and fully fitted bathroom, indicates extensive work ahead, it also means that you can create a space that meets modern standards and tenant expectations.

Despite the challenges, including the need for a complete refurbishment of the living areas and bedrooms, the potential for a profitable rental return in this area makes it a compelling project for cash buyers. The exterior of the property is in good condition, which helps to offset some of the extensive internal work required. With a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £200,000, this property could transform into a valuable asset with significant rental appeal.

Key opportunities

  • The property can be developed into a five-bedroom HMO, tapping into the rental market demand in the area.
  • With a fully stripped interior, there is complete freedom to redesign the layout and create modern living spaces tailored to potential tenants.
  • The good condition of the exterior adds value and reduces some renovation concerns, providing a solid foundation for the project.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • The overall poor condition noted in living and bedroom areas indicates that extensive work will be necessary to achieve a livable space.
