257 Sundridge Road

257 Sundridge Road is a licensed five-bedroom HMO, currently fully let and generating £42,000 per annum in rental income. At the asking price of £375,000, this equates to a gross yield of circa 11% (ARY). The income figure is bills inclusive — gas, electricity, water, broadband and council tax are all met within the existing rental structure — making it straightforward for a new owner to model ongoing returns from day one.

The property is offered freehold. A location overview and further investment detail is available on request.

The property comprises four double bedrooms and one single bedroom, with four private en-suite shower rooms and one further bathroom exclusive to Bedroom 5. The communal areas are well-appointed: a kitchen (10'2" x 9'1") opens onto a conservatory/sitting room (9'11" x 6'6") providing a sociable and functional shared space with access to the rear courtyard garden.

To the front, a driveway provides private off-road parking, with free on-road parking immediately outside. The rear courtyard includes a shed and provision for bike storage. Bedroom 3 is licensed for couple or twin occupancy, providing flexibility within the existing licence.

Yate is a well-established town 12 miles northeast of central Bristol, with a population of 22,000. Due to its excellent location between Bristol, Bath, and Oxford, Yate has established itself as a strong industrial and logistics economic base with major employers in close proximity and a strong local economy. Yate also has an excellent service sector, with 11.8 million visitors to Yate per year. In terms of economy, Yate is ranked in the top 7% of all local authorities by Gross Domestic Product (Yate Baseline Report, SGC, 2018).

Yate train station is within easy walking distance of the property, with trains every 30 minutes to Bristol. The bus stop is immediately outside. The property is within easy walking distance of Yate Shopping Centre and adjacent to Kingsgate Park.

The investment case for Sundridge Road rests on employment, not student cycle. Airbus, Rolls-Royce, GKN Aerospace and BAE Systems form one of the UK's most significant aerospace and defence clusters in nearby Filton, while MOD Abbey Wood — 14,000 civil servants and service personnel — sits within six miles. NHS Southmead Hospital and a growing professional services sector in Yate itself add further depth to the tenant pool. For a professional HMO investor, few locations outside major cities offer this concentration of anchor employers within comfortable commuting range.

Yate is not designated as an Article 4 area, meaning there are currently no restrictions on new HMO conversions in the immediate vicinity. An investor should weigh this against the strong current yield position and the structural employment base underpinning demand.
