6/7 bed HMO
Mellor Road, Prenton, Wirral
Project
Background
& Deal Structure
This is an opportunity to acquire a large already converted HMO ideally suited for leasing to either professional tenants (for example, Arrowe Park hospital is nearby) or for leasing to the Registered Provider, Serco.
Serco have already expressed interest in the property, however Wirral us currently closed for onboarding with Serco.
We do anticipate this to change in the near future and are already in discussions to have this property included in the next series of allocations.
We have had another property pass PCC checks on this road, and subsequently did not purchase post-survey.
As a professional HMO, it is recommended (and priced) to complete the project to a very high-end finish. Demand exists in the market for a premium product.
Professional HMO end valuation based on a 6 bed scheme is likely to be a hybrid of bricks and mortar and also taking income into account. Example scenarios have been outlined below and should be discussed with a qualified broker.
