Investment Snapshot

Lawful Development Certificate granted confirming existing C4 HMO use
HMO licence valid until 2030
Tenants currently in occupation for the 2026/27 academic year
Current rent: £2,450 pcm (£29,400 pa)
10.1% gross yield at £289,950 asking price
100% occupancy record since refurbishment in 2019 – no void periods
4-bedroom licensed HMO
Three en-suite bedrooms plus additional ground-floor shower room
Fully furnished
Self-managed with low operating costs

An opportunity to acquire a fully operational and established student HMO in Earlsdon, with its lawful C4 HMO use now formally certified by Coventry City Council.

The property is currently occupied under a new tenancy for the 2026/27 academic year at £2,450 pcm (£29,400 pa), providing immediate rental income for a purchaser from completion.

The property has maintained 100% occupancy since its comprehensive refurbishment in 2019, with no void periods, demonstrating a proven letting history rather than a projected investment return.

Unlike many traditional 4-bedroom HMOs, the property benefits from three en-suite bedrooms plus an additional ground-floor shower room, helping maintain strong tenant appeal and supporting its rental performance.

The property is fully licensed as an HMO, with the current HMO licence valid until 2030. In September 2026, Coventry City Council also granted a Lawful Development Certificate formally confirming the property's existing lawful use as a House in Multiple Occupation (Use Class C4), providing clear documentary confirmation of its established HMO planning status.
