44 Stanbury Avenue

44 Stanbury Avenue is a licensed six-bedroom HMO, currently fully let and generating £50,040 per annum in rental income. At the asking price of £535,000, this represents a gross yield of circa 9% — a return underpinned by Bristol's deep and diverse rental market serving both students and young professionals. The income figure is bills inclusive, simplifying the management position for a new owner.

The property is offered freehold. Reputable local HMO management companies can be recommended in the Bristol area if required. A potential seventh bedroom subject to planning permission provides a further route to income intensification.

Across three floors, 44 Stanbury Avenue provides six double bedrooms alongside two bathrooms, a well-proportioned kitchen/diner with access to the rear garden, and a separate downstairs communal lounge — with potential to convert to a seventh bedroom subject to planning. A rear lean-to conservatory (6.41m x 2.84m) adjoins the kitchen and provides additional communal space.

To the front, a small terrace garden and unrestricted on-street parking are provided. The private rear garden offers outdoor communal space for residents.

Fishponds, located just 3 miles northeast of Bristol's city centre, offers a unique blend of urban convenience and suburban charm. Known for its strong community atmosphere, the area is highly sought after by both students and young professionals. Fishponds features a lively high street along Fishponds Road, lined with independent shops, cafes, and supermarkets like Lidl and Aldi, making it a convenient place to live. Green spaces, including Snuff Mills Park and Oldbury Court Estate, offer residents the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities and relaxation.

The area is well-connected, with regular bus routes including the 48, 49, and 5 linking Fishponds to the city centre and UWE's Frenchay campus. Staple Hill train station offers direct rail access to Bristol Temple Meads in under 15 minutes.

Bristol is a dual-university city with over 57,000 students at the University of Bristol and UWE combined. The University of Bristol is expanding with a new £300 million campus in Temple Quarter, set to accommodate a further 3,000 students — directly increasing demand for rental accommodation in nearby areas including Fishponds. Bristol's economic base — spanning aerospace, financial services, media and a rapidly expanding tech sector — ensures strong professional as well as student demand.

Critically, 44 Stanbury Avenue sits within an Article 4 Direction area. This restricts new HMO conversions and protects the supply of licensed HMOs in Fishponds. The property benefits from 10 years of continuous use prior to the Direction, meaning its licence is established and protected. An investor acquiring here is buying a scarce asset in a supply-restricted area — new competing HMOs cannot simply be created.
