The strategy was to purchase the property for our client, carry out a programme of renovation works to create 22 bedrooms compliant with latest House of Multiple Occupation (HMO) standards. This would allow the rooms to be let at a significant increase in rental cost providing our client with an excellent annual yield.

The property is currently undergoing a major programme of refurbishment and renovation works in order to bring it up to current HMO standards. The works are due to be complete by March 2019 and will include new bathrooms, ceilings, floor coverings, fire doors and upgrades to the kitchens, electrics and heating system.

On completion of the refurbishment the property will generate a monthly rental income of £6,940 and monthly cash-flow after costs of £3,287.
