Description
Situated in the ever-popular district of Portswood, Southampton, this established and well-presented five-bedroom House in Multiple Occupation offers an exceptional opportunity for investors seeking a reliable, income-producing property. Already let for the 2025/26 academic year and generating a healthy annual income of £26,400, the property provides a ready-made investment with strong returns from day one.
The house has operated successfully as a licensed HMO for over two decades and benefits from the valuable advantage of C4 planning permission. This long-standing record of consistent occupancy makes it a tried-and-tested addition to any landlords portfolio, offering peace of mind and a smooth continuation of income.
Internally, the accommodation is well arranged and designed with tenants in mind. Five generously proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable private space, while a particularly spacious open-plan living and kitchen area forms the social heart of the house. The modern kitchen is fitted with an attractive range of base and wall-mounted units, complemented by contrasting work surfaces and a breakfast bar, and comes equipped with integrated cooking appliances as well as a full suite of freestanding provisions. The adjoining living area creates a natural hub for socialising, study, or relaxation, enhancing the appeal for student tenants.
To support the needs of multiple occupants, the property is served by two shared bathroom facilities, comprising a modern three-piece bathroom suite and a separate three-piece shower room. With tenancies already secured for both the current and forthcoming academic years, the property represents a secure, ongoing investment.
Externally, the house enjoys a good-sized enclosed rear garden, providing valuable outdoor space for relaxation during the warmer months and presenting scope for future extension if desired. At the front, a hard-standing area potentially offers the rare benefit of off-road parking (subject to planning), a highly desirable feature in such a sought-after student location.
Portswood itself is widely regarded as one of the most popular student rental areas in Southampton, boasting a vibrant community atmosphere, excellent amenities, and easy access to the University of Southampton, local shops, and reliable transport links into the city centre. This combination of location, proven rental history, and immediate income stream makes this property an outstanding investment opportunity not to be missed.
