  • HMO

Description

Offered at online auction, this freehold terraced house is arranged over three levels and has been used as a six-bedroom HMO, including a ground-floor reception room previously used as a bedroom. The ground floor has a hallway, bedroom, reception room, kitchen/dining area and bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, with two bedrooms in the attic. The property has gas central heating from a combi boiler, which has not been tested, and an EPC rating of D. The listing states that an HMO licence was in place until January 2028. Buyers should make their own enquiries with the council about current licensing requirements and permitted use. The house is being sold under Proceeds of Crime legislation, and further information is available in the legal pack. A buyer's administration fee of £3,000 including VAT is payable on exchange. Outside, there is a small paved forecourt and a narrow enclosed rear yard with paved surfaces and boundary fencing. On-street parking is available. The property is on Pershore Road, a main bus route, around four miles south of Birmingham city centre and approximately one mile from Selly Oak railway station. Its existing multi-bedroom arrangement may suit buyers considering continued shared accommodation, subject to verifying the relevant permissions and licensing, or a different use that fits the property's layout.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

81out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £185,000, this six-bedroom terraced house is priced at about £125 per sq ft, well below the local average of £310 per sq ft—a strong opportunity to acquire at a low entry price. It was previously used as an HMO, so buyers should check the relevant licensing and permitted use for their plans; the listing also notes a £3,000 buyer’s administration fee.

The photographed rooms look usable but dated, making this a light cosmetic project rather than a major rebuild. There is scope to modernise the finishes and tidy the enclosed paved rear yard, while the multiple bedrooms and attic rooms give the house a distinctive layout. The property is offered by auction: bidding can take the hammer price above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated but usable finishes through a light cosmetic refresh.
  • Clear and tidy the enclosed paved rear yard.
  • Make use of the six-bedroom layout, including the attic rooms, subject to checking licensing and permitted use.
