The property was valued 2 years ago by a local residential estate agent who was unable to value it based on the income from the HMO as they had no experience in what they referred to as the commercial aspect of the property, therefore they valued it on a residential only basis. The valuation was £725,000, expecting to achieve £700,000.

Since then prices have risen by approximately 6.5% meaning that the property could expect to achieve a sale price of £745,000.

ASKING PRICE: including a very reasonable addition of £50,000 to reflect the income from the HMO is £795,000.

The property will be sold with the current tenants which means the buyer will be receiving income from the get go. The current owner is moving locally and is on hand and willing to help the new owners settle in and show them the ropes with the operating of the business.
