20m2 ensuite double in HMO - (couples accepted)

Fully refurbished in 2024, the property is a large 3 storey maisonette (~160m2) that contains 4 double bedrooms, each with their own ensuites, plus both a large kitchen/ diner and separate lounge to share.

3 of the bedrooms are occupied (to 3 individuals), but becoming available now is the largest bedroom (> 20 m2 of bedroom with king-sized bed, plus a large ensuite too). It's available for either a professional individual or professional couple.

As can be seen from the attached video and photos, the whole property is spacious, comprising large rooms with high ceilings, and comes well furnished. The overhaul included redecorating and new carpets throughout, so is still in A1 condition.

It complies with the latest rental/ fire regulations, and is fully licenced by Kingston Council for letting on an HMO basis (House of Multiple Occupancy). The refurb also included installing significant additional insulation, such that the property now has an EPC (energy efficiency rating) of 'C'.

As is standard for HMOs, all bedrooms are lockable and rental contracts are on a per individual bedroom basis and are based on standard assured shorthold tenancy agreements, therefore the minimum rental term is 6 months.

Located in Norbiton (North Kingston), the property is in an ideal spot within walking distance to: Kingston town centre (10mins); Kingston Hospital (5mins); Richmond Park’s Kingston Gate (5mins) and Norbiton mainline railway station (7mins) – with trains every 15mins (eg. to Waterloo in 25mins). Also bus stops for the 371, 85 and 65 are nearby. Main supermarkets with late hours (Lidl and Asda) are also very close by.

Also included: 75" 'Smart' TV plus 'Tivo' cable TV in the communal lounge and fast WiFi throughout (via Virgin Media package). There's a separate utility room with both washer and dryer, plus the kitchen houses a double oven, gas hob, microwave, dishwasher plus 2 large fridge/ freezers.

Smoking is not permitted within the property therefore non-smokers are preferred, though the rear outside patio area could be used if needs be.

The advertised basic rent (£930) is for single occupancy only; if let to a couple then this rises to (£1150). On top of that is the need to contribute an additional monthly payment towards the fixed monthly fees that the landlord pays as HMO owner for: Council Tax (Band D), Water rates, TV license and VM package (includes the WiFi).

For 2025-26 this cost is £437pm for the whole property and is to be shared on a per person basis. As such if let to an individual the additional cost will be £109pm (ie. a 1/4 share), while for a couple this additional cost will be £175pm (ie. a 2/5th share).

Utility (gas & electric) usage must be paid on top, and is shared on a 1/4 split per bedroom basis (no matter if this room is let to an individual or a couple). Based on the previous 12 months, cost per bedroom ranges from £40 > £80pm (depending upon season and overall heating usage in winter months).

So average monthly total outgoings will be approximately:
- Individual ~£1,100
- Couple ~£1,400 (£700 each)
