Nice double with ensuite in HMO available

Fully refurbished in 2023, 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 already let (to 2 singles and a couple), but becoming available in October for another single professional, is a double bedroom in the property - measuring 12.5m2 - plus it has a large ensuite.

The attached photos and video were from Summer '23 when the refurb work was just about finished and all rooms were becoming available. For this new tenancy please just focus on the communal areas and bedroom #2.

As you'll see, the whole property is spacious, comprising large rooms with high ceilings, and comes well furnished. The overhaul included 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 with HMOs, 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.

On top of the advertised basic rent (£790) plus the need to contribute 1/4 share towards the ongoing gas & electric utility usage (controlled via ‘smart’ meters), an additional monthly payment is also required to reimburse the fixed monthly fees the landlord pays as HMO owner for: Council Tax (Band D), Water rates, TV license and VM package (includes the WiFi).

For 2024-25 this cost is currently £380pm for the whole property and is to be shared on a per person basis. As such this cost is currently an additional £76pppm (ie. 1/5th share).
