Key features
- Strong yield — 9.6% gross yield on the £285,000 asking price, with an illustrative net yield of ~8.2%.
- Income resilience — individual room agreements mean a single void doesn't wipe out the whole property's cash flow.
- Lower admin overhead — bills fully managed by Unihomes, reducing landlord time and arrears risk.
- Protected margins — student tenants are council-tax exempt, removing a cost that erodes net income on standard buy-to-let stock.
- Rare amenities — garage and private rear garden set this apart from typical terraced HMO stock, supporting tenant retention and resale appeal.
- Location with tailwinds — walkable to two universities, on a bus route, in a market with rising prices (+3.5%) and rents (+4.4%) year-on-year.
Description
An exceptional opportunity for investors — a fully-let 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom HMO in one of Sheffield's most sought-after student letting areas, offered at £285,000 with a gross yield of 9.6%.
160 Queens Road is let entirely to students on individual room agreements at £455 pcm per room, net of bills, producing a gross passing rent of £27,300 per annum. Utility bills are managed separately by specialist agent Unihomes, and — as the tenants are full-time students — the property benefits from council tax exemption, removing a cost that would otherwise erode returns.
The property benefits from a garage and a private rear garden, both rare and highly valued features among typical terraced HMO stock in the area, giving this home a genuine edge with prospective tenants.
Positioned on a well-served bus route and just a 10–15 minute walk from the university, the property sits within comfortable reach of Sheffield's two major universities — the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University — tapping into one of the deepest and most resilient tenant pools of any UK city outside London.
With Sheffield house prices up 3.5% and private rents up 4.4% over the past year (ONS), this is a rare chance to acquire an income-producing asset in a proven, growing rental market.
Flexible for the future: the property can continue to operate as a student HMO, or be repositioned for working professionals, who would typically arrange their own bills and council tax directly.
