Summary
A rare freehold investment opportunity in West Kensington, this building comprises 12 self-contained studio apartments currently generating £139,250 per annum, reflecting a 4.8% yield. With minor cosmetic updates, a new owner could increase rental income and significantly enhance the yield. The building has been successfully operated on a short-term let basis, with potential for both ASTs and Airbnb-style rentals.
Description
Strategically located in Zone 2, the property benefits from exceptional transport links. West Kensington Station (District Line) and Barons Court Station (District & Piccadilly Lines) provide swift access to central London, while Hammersmith Station offers Circle, Piccadilly, District, and Hammersmith & City Lines. Multiple bus routes further enhance connectivity.
The building is ideally positioned for student and professional tenants, with easy access to nearby universities and colleges, including Imperial College, Royal College of Art, and LAMDA, making it highly attractive to London’s growing international student population. Its proximity to Olympia—just 0.6 miles away—offers access to world-class entertainment, culture, and employment hubs, while High Street Kensington and Holland Park are also within easy reach.
The property has been configured as 12 studios since before 2014, with a high likelihood of obtaining a certificate of lawful use. The existing layout is well-suited to the London rental market, particularly for student lets, professional sharers, or short-term rentals. The building’s structure—a classic W14 Victorian/Edwardian conversion—lends itself to high-demand studio living, offering a strong long-term investment in a relatively affordable central London location.
