5 bed terraced house for sale

Finchley Road, London NW3

High-yield mixed-use freehold with immediate income & asset management upside

Finchley Road (A41), West Hampstead, NW3

A rare opportunity to acquire a prime NW3 freehold mixed-use building in a highly sought-after West Hampstead location, just a few buildings from escp Business School.

The property comprises a licensed 5-bedroom HMO producing £58,800 per annum, a vacant ground floor commercial unit with strong rental potential, rear vehicular access and yard, and lapsed planning for an additional two-storey 1-bedroom unit.

This is a proven income-producing asset with clear scope to enhance returns and is ideal for an investor or owner-occupier, with the benefit of workshop / office / surgery space and on-site parking via rear access.

Residential income – £58,800 P.A.

The upper parts comprise a self-contained 5-bedroom licensed HMO, fully occupied until April/May and generating £4,900 pcm (£58,800 per annum). The property benefits from sustained demand due to its immediate proximity to escp Business School, attracting European postgraduate students and young professionals. This is a resilient micro-location with strong tenant turnover cycles and repeat demand.

Commercial upside – vacant shop

The ground floor retail unit is offered with vacant possession and is configured as a front retail area, kitchen, shower room & WC, and two rear rooms. Rear vehicular access and yard provide additional operational flexibility. Given its prominent position on the busy A41, the unit offers strong letting potential to a range of occupiers (subject to consents). Estimated rental value in line with comparable Finchley Road units presents a significant opportunity to increase total income.
Income potential


Current income (residential only): £58,800 p.a. Once the commercial unit is let at market levels, total income has the potential to reach approximately £90,000+ per annum (subject to letting terms), materially enhancing yield.
Development potential


The property previously benefitted from planning consent for a two-storey rear extension to create an additional 1-bedroom unit. Although lapsed, this offers the opportunity (subject to renewal) to add further rental income, increase overall asset value and improve site density.
