Description

SUPERB INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY - HIGH-YIELDING STUDENT HMO OR SALE - FULLY TENANTED 4-BED HMO - KENSINGTON ROAD, PLYMOUTH
Offers in Excess of £240,000 - Sold as a Going Concern

This fantastic opportunity offers a fully tenanted 4-bedroom HMO, providing a strong rental return and excellent long-term investment potential. Previously a 5-bedroom licensed HMO, the property has been reconfigured into a 4-bedroom home with additional communal space, appealing to student tenants seeking a more comfortable living environment. The property is fully let for the next academic year, generating a rental income of £24,050 per annum. At the asking price, this offers a strong gross yield of approximately 10%. The property has proven to be consistently popular with students due to its location and layout, which includes four large study bedrooms, all with double beds, hardwired Ethernet, and TV points. Room 4 benefits from its own study/lounge area, while the spacious communal lounge comes equipped with a large flat-screen TV. The modern fitted kitchen includes appliances, and there are two bathrooms - one with a bath and WC, plus an additional shower room with WC. Permit parking is available nearby.

The property is situated in an exceptional student hotspot, just behind Aldi and a short walk to the University of Plymouth, surrounded by local amenities such as shops, pubs, and restaurants. There are excellent transport links to the city centre and beyond. This presents an outstanding investment opportunity for both experienced landlords and those looking to expand their buy-to-let portfolio.

The property is fully let until 3rd August, with a new tenancy secured from 1st September on a 50-week contract. The gross annual rental income is £24,050. The annual running costs for gas and electric are £1,582, water is £1,298 (non-metered at £108.18/month), broadband costs £54/month for 350 mbps (with 450 mbps available for £35 + VAT), and the TV licence is £174.50/year. There are no management costs. After deducting the annual running costs of £4,108.50, the net income for the property is £19,941.50. With a purchase price of £240,000, this results in a net return of approximately 8.48%.
