Please be aware we understand that the HMO license expired in 2016 having been in place for 5 years. Although the seller informs us that he has applied to Bristol City Council for this to be re-newed and paid the fees - we understand some minor works may be required to the property but we have no further details. The buyers must therefore satisfy themselves in this respect.

Completion is set for 8 weeks or earlier subject to mutual consent.

WEEKLY SET VIEWING

The property is OPEN FOR 30 MINUTES but please leave a minimum of 15 minutes to inspect the property.
Hollis Morgan would be grateful if you could arrive promptly to inspect the properties at the START of the specified times as we have scheduled viewings throughout the day and CANNOT wait for late arrivals.

THE PROPERTY

A Freehold mid terrace Clifton Townhouse( 2437 Sq Ft ) arranged over 4 floors with enclosed rear garden.
The property is currently operating as a 6 bedroom HMO with separate lounge and kitchen.

LOCATION

Whatley Road is located within the heart of Clifton just a few hundred yards from Whiteladies Road with its wide range of Shops, Pubs, Restaurants and independent Retailers whilst Clifton Down shopping centre is also within a few minutes walk. Bristol University and the Bristol Royal Infirmary are both within one mile.

THE OPPORTUNITY

INVESTMENT / INCREASE RENTS ( PLEASE NOTE UPDATED FIGURES )

The property is currently let to 6 individual tenants on an AST agreement with the tenancy terminating in June 2018.
The 4 en suite rooms are let for £440 pcm and the 2 non en suite rooms are let for £420 pcm.
CURRENT INCOME £31,200
The rents are vastly below market rates and we would anticipate that once renovated the property would achieve circa £500 - £650 per room pcm
POTENTIAL INCOME £36K - £46K per annum

FAMILY HOME / RENOVATION PROJECT

The property would now benefit from basic updating having been let for many years but would make a fine home in this highly sought after location.

RENTAL APPRAISAL

The Local Experts Say...

A great house and location to get property into the student market for 2018/19. The house requires full refurbishment but you would leave the current layout the same. There is potential that you could put en-suite bathrooms to both the ground floor rooms and remove shower in utility room. The fact that it has an HMO licence means that you would need to apply when the 5-yearly licence expired but there would be no need to get any other consents to let such as planning. Once in the student market you would let you 6 people on an annual basis. If refurbished to a very high standard the property could achieve £550 per room £39600p/a.

BUYER'S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £750 + VAT (£900 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.

GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether or not to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE

The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
