About
High-yield mixed-use freehold with immediate income & asset management upside Finchley Road (A41), West Hampstead, NW3 A rare opportunity to acquire a prime NW3 freehold mixed-use building in a highly sought-after West Hampstead location, just a few buildings from escp Business School.
The property comprises a licensed 5-bedroom HMO producing £58,800 per annum, a vacant ground floor commercial unit with strong rental potential, rear vehicular access and yard, and lapsed planning for an additional two-storey 1-bedroom unit.
This is a proven income-producing asset with clear scope to enhance returns and is ideal for an investor or owner-occupier, with the benefit of workshop / office / surgery space and on-site parking via rear access.
Residential income – £58,800 P.A. The upper parts comprise a self-contained 5-bedroom licensed HMO, fully occupied until April/May and generating £4,900 pcm (£58,800 per annum).
The property benefits from sustained demand due to its immediate proximity to escp Business School, attracting European postgraduate students and young professionals.
This is a resilient micro-location with strong tenant turnover cycles and repeat demand.
Commercial upside – vacant shop The ground floor retail unit is offered with vacant possession and is configured as a front retail area, kitchen, shower room & WC, and two rear rooms.
Rear vehicular access and yard provide additional operational flexibility.
Given its prominent position on the busy A41, the unit offers strong letting potential to a range of occupiers (subject to consents).
Estimated rental value in line with comparable Finchley Road units presents a significant opportunity to increase total income. Income potential Current income (residential only): £58,800 p.a.
Once the commercial unit is let at market levels, total income has the potential to reach approximately £90,000+ per annum (subject to letting terms), materially enhancing yield.
Development potential The property previously benefitted from planning consent for a two-storey rear extension to create an additional 1-bedroom unit.
Although lapsed, this offers the opportunity (subject to renewal) to add further rental income, increase overall asset value and improve site density.
Location – prime west hampstead Situated on the highly trafficked Finchley Road (A41) in the heart of West Hampstead, a few buildings from escp Business School and close to West Hampstead & Finchley Road stations.
The area benefits from strong footfall and passing traffic, an established retail parade, Fortune Green open space nearby and excellent local amenities.
