• Located in Salford’s Article 4 area, ensuring long-term HMO protection
• Vacant and ready for immediate occupation or improvements

Practical & Spacious Layout

• Three additional bedrooms
• Family bathroom

This layout is well-suited for professional sharers, students, or key workers-ideal for maximising occupancy and maintaining long-term stability.

Opportunity for Modernisation

Some areas of the property would benefit from modern updating, which in turn could:

• Increase achievable rents
• Improve appeal to higher-quality tenants
• Boost overall yield and long-term asset value

Income & Yield Analysis

Estimated Rental Income

• £500 pcm per room × 4 rooms
• £2,000 pcm total gross rent
• £24,000 annual gross income

Net Income Estimate

Assuming a standard 20% operating cost (utilities, internet, TV licence, insurance, council tax, general maintenance):

• 20% of £24,000 = £4,800
• Net annual income = £19,200

Gross & Net Yield (at £220,000 asking price)

• Gross Yield: 10.9%
• Net Yield: 8.7%

These returns are highly competitive for the Salford area, particularly within Article 4 where supply is restricted and rental demand remains exceptionally strong.

Why Salford Is One of the UK’s Best Locations for HMO Investment

Located in Salford’s Article 4 Direction Area

This is a major advantage for investors:

• Article 4 restricts new HMOs, limiting future supply
• Licensed HMOs like this maintain long-term rental value
• Reduced competition leads to higher occupancy and stronger yields

Strong, Consistent Tenant Demand

Salford remains one of the highest-demand rental markets in Greater Manchester, driven by:

• University of Salford (20,000+ students)
• MediaCityUK and major employment hubs
• Proximity to Manchester city centre
• Large numbers of key workers and professionals

Excellent Transport Links

• Minutes from bus routes, Metrolink stations, and the M602
• Fast access to Manchester city centre
• Popular area for commuters, students, and working tenants

Regeneration & Capital Growth

Salford continues to undergo major regeneration, with improvements across:

• Weaste
• Seedley
• Salford Quays
• Ordsall
• Central Salford

This results in rising rental values and long-term capital appreciation, making it a key hotspot for HMO investors.
