Codrington Street, Exeter, Devon

Introducing an exceptional investment opportunity: a six-bedroom HMO with a C4 classification strategically located just a stone's throw from the city centre. This property represents a prime investment, poised for refurbishment and refinancing to unlock its full revenue potential. With the ability to significantly increase rental yields through modernisation, this investment comes without the complications of a chain.

The layout comprises two bedrooms on the ground floor (including one with an en-suite shower room), three on the first floor, and a sixth bedroom on the top floor, previously generating rents between £450 to £525 per month per room. However, with strategic upgrades, the property could command much higher rents per room, depending on the quality of the renovation.

The property also features a generous kitchen/diner on the ground floor, a bathroom and a shower room on the first floor, all of which are ripe for enhancement.

By investing in upgrades for both the communal spaces and individual bedrooms — including the potential addition of en-suite shower rooms (subject to planning), you can appeal to a premium tenant base, including professionals or students and the possibility of refinancing at a higher valuation.

Located less than a 10-minute walk from the High Street and in close proximity to several new student accommodations — where students pay upwards of £155 per week — the location offers flexible targeting options for either city workers or students post-refurbishment.

Operating within an Article 4 area as a licensed HMO (with the current license valid until February 2025), this property has a C4 classification, meaning it is allowed to continue to operate as an HMO.

This investment offers the dual benefit of securing a higher income stream through refurbishment while capitalising on the property's strategic location, existing HMO license, and C4 class. A thorough analysis could reveal even greater potential, positioning this property as a standout investment opportunity in Exeter's competitive real estate market.
