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
This property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a licensed 5-person HMO investment in a prime central Dundee location.
Extending to approximately 138 sq m, this substantial second-floor flat offers spacious accommodation comprising hallway, living room, kitchen, five bedrooms, shower room, and a separate W.C.
The property is heated via a gas-fired combination boiler.
Windows to the front retain their traditional single-glazed sash and case style, while the rear benefits from modern timber double-glazed sash and case units, balancing character with improved efficiency.
The property currently holds an EPC rating of Band D, with potential to improve to Band C, supporting long-term compliance and investment resilience.
The scale, layout, and existing HMO licence make this a strong, ready-made income-producing asset in a highly sought-after rental location - the previous tenancy secured £21,000pa.
Dundee has firmly established itself as one of Scotland’s most compelling buy-to-let markets, driven by two major universities, a growing life sciences and technology sector, and significant waterfront regeneration.
The city continues to attract students and young professionals, creating consistent demand for well-located HMO accommodation.
Commercial Street’s central position places the property within easy reach of the University of Dundee, Abertay University, shops, restaurants, and transport links, making it particularly attractive to the student and professional rental market.
With comparatively affordable entry prices relative to Edinburgh or Glasgow, and strong rental demand for licensed HMOs, Dundee offers investors a compelling combination of yield potential and long-term capital growth.
