INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY! 5-BED LICENSED HMO in the sought-after Golden Triangle of Cathays, let for £2,200 PCM & secured at £2,500 PCM from July 2025. Includes a 1-bed Coach House with rental/Airbnb potential. Large corner plot, solar panels, and basement storage. High-yield potential! High-Yield Investment Opportunity - Located in the highly sought-after Golden Triangle of Cathays, this licensed five-bedroom HMO offers a prime opportunity for investors. Fully tenanted and already secured at £2,500 per month from July 2025, this property guarantees an immediate and increasing rental income. With additional income potential from a self-contained one-bedroom coach house, a large corner plot, and energy-efficient solar panels, this is a low-risk, high-reward investment in one of Cardiff’s most in-demand student rental areas. Strong Rental Yields & Guaranteed Income - For property investors, one of the most important factors when purchasing an HMO is rental yield and long-term income security. This property is currently let at £2,200 per month, with a tenancy already secured at £2,500 per month from July 2025. Located in an area where demand for high-quality student accommodation remains consistently strong, this HMO offers both stability and growth potential. Unlike other student rental properties where landlords face annual uncertainty over tenancy renewals, this house provides guaranteed income for the foreseeable future, making it a smart investment with minimal risk. A Well-Designed And Practical Living Space - The property is well laid out to maximise space and functionality for tenants. Upon entering the main house, you are greeted by a spacious entrance hallway leading to a large ground-floor double bedroom. The ground floor also includes a generous lounge, a separate dining room, and a well-equipped kitchen, providing plenty of communal space—an important factor for students and young professionals. Additional storage cupboards, a lean-to, and an inner hallway leading to the first floor complete this level. Upstairs, the first floor features four further double bedrooms, making it an attractive option for groups of students renting together. The property also benefits from two shower rooms and a storage cupboard, ensuring convenience for multiple tenants. The layout is designed to be both comfortable and practical, ensuring long-term tenant retention and reduced void periods. Coach House Allowing Additional Income Potential - A major standout feature of this property is the one-bedroom self-contained coach house located at the rear of the plot. With private access, this unit includes an open-plan lounge and kitchen, a separate hallway, a shower room, a double bedroom and its own rear garden. Historically, this coach house has been successfully rented out, generating additional income alongside the main HMO. More recently, it has been used as an Airbnb, proving its flexibility as an investment option. Whether rented on a long-term or short-term basis, this unit offers investors extra earning potential in an area with consistently high demand for rental accommodation. Sustainability & Energy Efficiency - With increasing energy costs and a growing focus on sustainability, this property is ahead of the curve with seven solar panels installed, which feed into a battery storage system. This feature not only reduces energy costs but also makes the property more attractive to environmentally conscious tenants. The inclusion of solar power is a valuable long-term investment that enhances the property’s overall appeal while future-proofing against rising utility costs. Spacious Corner Plot With Outdoor Space - Positioned on a generous corner plot, this property benefits from a private rear garden, which is split between the main house and the self-contained coach house. Outdoor space is a rare and desirable feature in student rental properties in Cathays, providing tenants with additional space to socialise and relax. With the potential for further development or enhancements, this sizeable plot adds even more value to an already lucrative investment. Additional Features: Basement Storage - A unique feature of this property is the basement space, accessed via a hatch in the lounge. While currently used for storage, there is potential to make further use of this area, adding to the overall functionality of the property. Why Cathays Is The Best Location For Investors - This property is situated in Cathays’ Golden Triangle, one of Cardiff’s most desirable areas for student landlords. Cathays is home to thousands of students each year, offering a constant and reliable demand for HMO properties. With Cardiff University, popular student bars, cafes, shops, and excellent transport links all within easy reach, tenants are drawn to the area for its convenience and vibrant atmosphere.
