Turnkey 4-Bed Cathays HMO | Contracted to June 2028 (£28,800 PA) | Rare EPC C via Summer Thermal Retrofit | 11-Year Agency Provenance For portfolio investors seeking immediate cashflow stability without tenant-turnaround friction, 7 May Street represents a rare, fully vetted acquisition in Cathays—Cardiff’s core student and professional letting territory. Tenancy & Cashflow Profile Contracted Term: Fixed tenancy secured through 30th June 2028 Rental Income: Let at £600 per person per month (£2,400 PCM / £28,800 PA). Zero Void Record: Sourced from Cardiff's resilient university market, delivering consistent year-on-year demand and unbroken rental income. Heavy Capex Complete: Exceptional EPC Rating C Victorian terraced houses in Cathays typically linger at D or E energy ratings, leaving landlords exposed to costly statutory upgrades. Following a substantial capital investment this past summer, this property underwent an extensive thermal wrap: All internal perimeter walls and ceilings were insulated, re-boarded, and skimmed in fresh plaster. The upgrades elevated the property to a rare EPC Rating C (valid for 10 years until 2036). The Investor Benefit: Full protection against future MEES regulatory tightening, zero required insulation capex, and reduced winter heating costs for tenants. 11-Year Provenance & Full Maintenance Transparency Unlike speculative stock with unknown histories, 7 May Street has been continuously sourced and let by Sales & Lettings Angels for 11 consecutive years: Full visibility over historical maintenance logs, repairs, and contractor works. Unbroken 11-year C4 HMO tenancy records—vital proof of lawful continuous use under Cardiff Council's strict Article 4 planning framework.
