Confidence: MEDIUM
This established six-bedroom HMO has a clear investment proposition: it is already let for the 2026–2027 academic year, with stated annual rent of £33,696, and offers generous shared living space, two bathrooms, driveway parking and a large garden near the University of Southampton’s Highfield Campus. The interior is functional but dated, so there is scope for a light refresh of finishes and flooring, while the garden could also be improved.
The price is the main constraint: at £450,000, it is around 10% above the local £/sqf average, and purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks. Its established HMO use and incoming income may appeal to a project buyer, but the numbers call for careful scrutiny rather than treating the asking price as a bargain.
Key opportunities
- Established HMO with stated income for the 2026–2027 academic year, offering an incoming purchaser an existing rental arrangement.
- Spacious communal living and dining areas, two shared bathrooms and driveway parking support the shared-house setup.
- Large rear garden offers room to improve the outdoor space; further accommodation is suggested by the listing, subject to permissions and feasibility.
Key risks
- Purchase plus works looks tight against local benchmarks, so the established rental income and tenancy arrangements need careful assessment against the price.
