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
For sale is this five-bedroom vacant HMO situated in the central hub of Selly Oak, one of Birmingham's strongest and most established student rental locations.
The property is ideally positioned within close proximity to the University of Birmingham, ensuring ongoing and reliable demand from the student market.
Offering spacious accommodation throughout, the house provides an excellent opportunity for an investor to acquire a well-located asset with clear scope to add value through refurbishment or reconfiguration.
Being sold with vacant possession, the property allows a purchaser to commence works immediately, making it perfectly suited for an investor looking to enhance and prepare the property in time for the next academic year.
The combination of location, size, and timing presents strong potential for improved rental income and capital growth once upgraded.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a vacant HMO in a prime Selly Oak location, and early viewing is advised to fully appreciate the investment potential on offer.
