15.45% Rent by the room return before costs — market rent unverified, verify rent + comps locally.
Why it works
- 8.76% return before costs — above-market
- 15.4% Rent by the room return before costs (net 7.77% after CapEx + bills) — conversion play
- Priced below market -34% vs 12 nearby sold (last 12 mo) — instant equity
- Stress Rent-covers-mortgage check PASS at 6.5% rate stress — lender-friendly
Why to be cautious
- No rent comparables — estimate is a rule-of-thumb fallback, not market data. Verify the rent locally before offering.
- EPC band not stated — verify the certificate before offering (2030 MEES minimum is band C).

Rent by the room conversion upside

🔓 +1 bedroom potential
medium confidenceUnlocks ~£7,208/yr extra rent
3 → 4 lettable rooms
Potential, not guaranteed (subject to planning + regs). Estimate from the floorplan (kitchen size assumed) — verify room sizes against the floorplan before offering.
How we calculated this
floorplan shows 5 habitable rooms (3 beds + 2 reception(s)); convert 1 spare room(s) to bedrooms, keeping one reception as the lounge → up to 4 lettable rooms (1 double, 0 single); sized to Rotherham adopted standard (6.52/10.23 m²; Houses in Multiple Occupation Guidance and Amenity Standards, January 2018 (updated September 2018)); kitchen 6.2 m² is below the ~6.9 m² standard for 4 occupants — extend/relocate kitchen within the works; adds ~£601/mo; loft conversion may add 1-2 further rooms (subject to head height/planning — not counted)
🔒 Room-add markup · Pro
Pro members see the floorplan with every convertible room outlined in green. Verify room sizes before offering.
3 → 4 bed HMO+1 double
Sized to Rotherham's adopted HMO standards
Projections use documented assumptions (local room rates, typical conversion costs, 75% LTV at 5.5%, indicative regional valuation yields) and each council’s published HMO standards. Not financial advice. Verify room sizes, licensing and planning with the council and a surveyor before purchase.
