We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
An established and fully licensed six-bedroom semi-detached House in Multiple Occupation, configured to provide an attractive income-producing investment opportunity.
Measuring 104 sqm (1119 sq ft) according to the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate). Price Guide: £425,000 - £435,000.
This is a turn key investment, on a fully furnished basis, with tenants rental income established from day one.
The sellers advise the property has successfully operated for circa ten years of profitable trading.
The property is arranged over two floors and has been adapted specifically for multi-let occupation, with each of the six bedrooms benefiting from its own en suite shower room.
This is an important feature within the HMO market, providing tenants with a greater degree of privacy while reducing reliance upon shared bathroom facilities.
It has also proven to reduce void periods with higher tenant demand for en suite bedrooms.
At ground-floor level, the accommodation comprises two en suite letting bedrooms and the principal communal area, consisting of a kitchen with dining space.
This hub of the home provides the space for residents to cook, dine and socialise. The first floor provides a further four en suite letting bedrooms.
The example bedroom photographs illustrates the general presentation of the accommodation, with space for a double bed and bedroom furniture, while the corresponding en suite provides a shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.
Overall, the property is presented in good condition and is configured for continued operation as an HMO.
Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking to the front, an important practical consideration for both occupants and investors.
To the rear is a proportionate garden, providing plenty of low-maintenance, outside space for residents.
At full occupancy, the property produces approximately £48,000 per annum in gross rental income, representative of an attractive gross yield of approximately 11%.
For an investor, the appeal lies not simply in the number of bedrooms but in the established nature of the asset.
The combination of six letting rooms, six en suite facilities, licensing, existing HMO configuration and established rental income provides the opportunity to acquire a property already structured for multi-let operation, rather than undertaking the cost and uncertainty associated with converting a conventional residential property.
The property is therefore likely to be of particular interest to established HMO operators, portfolio landlords and private investors seeking a high-income residential investment within Poole.
All rental and expenditure information has been provided by the seller and should be independently verified by prospective purchasers as part of their due diligence.
The availability, terms and conditions of the HMO licence should also be confirmed by the purchaser's legal advisers.
Corporate Ownership and Potential Acquisition Options: The property is currently held within a limited company which also owns a further six-bedroom, six-bathroom HMO that may also be available to purchase.
Subject to agreement with the seller, prospective purchasers may therefore wish to consider a number of potential acquisition structures, including the purchase of St.
Mary's Road individually, the acquisition of both HMO properties, or potentially the acquisition of the company itself.
For certain purchasers, acquiring the company rather than purchasing the property assets directly may result in materially different transaction tax treatment and potentially significant savings compared with a conventional property acquisition.
The suitability and tax consequences of any such structure will depend upon the individual transaction and purchaser circumstances.
As agents, we are not providing legal, tax or financial advice and we make no representation as to the tax treatment or suitability of any particular transaction structure.
Interested parties should obtain independent specialist legal and tax advice before proceeding.
Further information regarding the second HMO and the potential acquisition options is available upon request.
