Description
Fantastic Salford HMO investment property.
Palace Auctions presents a prime Salford HMO investment property. A freehold five-bedroom HMO offered at a guide price of £346,000. Currently vacant and requiring only light refurbishment, this asset can generate £31,200 PA. Equating to a 9% gross yield on guide price. Furthermore, the property holds a valid HMO licence for five occupants, streamlining the purchase process and ensuring immediate compliance with Salford City Council regulations.
Situated in a key regeneration corridor—anchored by the £2.5 billion Salford Crescent Masterplan and MediaCityUK expansion—this opportunity benefits from rising tenant demand and rental growth of 8.5–11.3% in Manchester’s HMO sector. Quick sale terms and a buyer’s fee of 1.5% make this an ideal acquisition for investors seeking a high-yield, ready-to-operate property.
