Description
A substantial double-fronted semi-detached house in West Worthing, currently arranged and operated as a six-room HMO. The chain-free property is described as being in excellent order and offers six letting rooms, each with its own kitchen facilities, alongside shower rooms on the ground and first floors and an additional first-floor WC.
There is off-street parking at the front and a secluded rear garden. The existing HMO arrangement may suit an investor, subject to confirming licensing and regulatory requirements. The generous accommodation may also offer scope to return the property to a conventional home, subject to planning permission and any other required consents.

73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
A substantial double-fronted semi with a useful head start: it is already arranged as a six-room HMO, while the generous proportions also leave scope to explore a return to family-home use, subject to the necessary consents. At £600,000, the asking price works out at £348 per sq ft, around 19% below the local average—a strong acquisition point for a project with this much flexibility.
The visible rooms look usable, with the main value-add being a light cosmetic refresh: update dated flooring and finishes, then prune and clear parts of the mature garden to sharpen its presentation. The broad driveway and private-feeling rear garden add to the appeal. The renovation range is £6,000–£18,000; the engine’s midpoint comparison puts purchase plus renovation at £612,000 against an implied local-average value of about £740,000, before fees and other costs.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at £348 per sq ft, around 19% below the local average, while benefiting from a substantial double-fronted property.
- Build on the existing six-room HMO layout, or explore a return to conventional family-home use subject to required consents.
- Refresh dated flooring and finishes and tidy the mature, secluded garden to improve presentation.
