Based on the figures supplied, the property has the potential to generate approximately three times the existing gross rental income if successfully converted to a student-focused rental model, subject of course to achievable student rental rates, occupancy, compliance and any required approvals.
This is not simply a large residential property it is a high-volume income-producing accommodation asset with multiple income streams and significant upside potential.
