Six bed HMO in 'highly desirable' Birmingham neighbourhood comes with suggestion to buyers
The property, due to go under auction imminently with Bond Wolfe, is in Kings Heath and described by agents as being in "a highly desirable location."
While the property is described as a licensed HMO, Bond Wolfe suggested that it may also be suitable for conversion back into a large family home, which could be good news for parents with children looking for a spacious living space.

James Rossiter, senior auction valuer at Bond Wolfe, explained that competitive bidding was expected for the mid-terraced property, as it was very close to Kings Heath high street.
Mr Rossiter said: 'This house stands back from the road with gardens front and back, just a stone's throw away from Kings Heath's high street on the A435 Alcester Road, a highly desirable location.
'The property has been converted into a six-bedroomed HMO that is fully compliant and licensed, with an existing lawful use and development certificate.
'Another plus-point is that the property may also be suitable for conversion back into a large family home, or could have further potential for development to the rear, subject to planning permission.'
Buyers have been advised that the HMO, on Addison Road in Kings Heath, will have a £320,000+ guide price in the livestreamed auction on Thursday July 10.
On the ground floor is a hall, reception room, bedroom, dining kitchen, utility room, bathroom and separate toilet.
There is a landing, three bedrooms and shower room with toilet on the first floor, and another landing and two bedrooms on the second floor.
The property, which is currently vacant, benefits from gas central heating and double glazing.
The Kings Heath property is among scores of lots appearing in Bond Wolfe's next auction which is due to start at 8.30am on Thursday 10 July.
Bond Wolfe said viewings are taking place this June, and you can find more information on its site.

British Royal Train Closing After 180-Year Run. Here's Why
The British royal train is nearing its final stop. British monarchs have traveled privately via train since the 1840s. Queen Victoria took things a step further in 1869 when she commissioned two luxury coaches to service the Crown. The tradition has continued up until the present day, but won't be lasting for much longer. Buckingham Palace has announced that the British royal train will be decommissioned by 2027 in order to "secure best value for public money." The royal contract to keep the train running expires in March 2027 and will no longer be renewed. James Chalmers, Keeper of the Privy Purse, in charge of managing the Royal Household's finances, explained the decision as the Crown's attempt to "modernize and adapt to reflect the world of today." 'The royal train, of course, has been part of national life for many decades, loved and cared for by all those involved," said Chalmers. "But in moving forward we must not be bound by the past." Chalmers added that the move serves as a huge cost-cutting measure. The Sovereign Grant Report, which breaks down the Royal Household's annual finances, noted that the cost to store and maintain the royal train far outweighs its practical usage. The Royal Family would have to make a "significant level of investment" to keep the train operational past 2027. The report also noted that the Royal Family had also purchased two new helicopters that offer more cost-efficient travel versus the royal train. The Royal Travel Appendix on the 2024-25 Sovereign Grant Report details just how costly train travel was compared to other modes of transportation. From April 2024 to March 2025, the Crown used the royal train just twice, costing around $60,000 each trip. The figure makes the monarchy's 55 chartered flights at $14,800 each and 141 helicopter rides at $4,600 each look like an absolute Royal Train Closing After 180-Year Run.

Here's Why Taxes Will Claim About Half Of Wimbledon Winner Jannik Sinner's $4 Million Prize
Jannik Sinner triumphed over his rival Carlos Alcarez to win the men's title at Wimbledon on Sunday, securing a $4 million prize one day after Iga Swiatek took home the women's title for the same amount—though tax analysts told Forbes their winnings will be cut nearly in half after paying required taxes. Jannik Sinner holds the Wimbledon trophy after winning the men's singles final match against Carlos ... More Alcaraz. Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved The U.K. taxes prize funds from Wimbledon and earnings from endorsements on equipment used in the tournament, and they also face an initial withholding tax of 20% before paying a tax up to 45% after related expenses are deducted, according to Andreas Bosse, an international tax legal consultant based in Monaco. Wimbledon's £3 million grand prize (about $4.05 million), awarded to both the women's and men's champions, would likely be taxed at an effective rate of 36.52%, Sean Packard, OFS Wealth's tax director, told Forbes, lowering the winnings down to at least $2.5 million. Swiatek will likely also pay an additional 4% tax in Poland, reducing her championship winnings by an additional $162,000. Sinner, originally from Italy, will pay no additional taxes because his primary residence is in the income tax-free microstate of Monaco. A $2 million prize awarded to the runners-up would be reduced by more than $700,000 to $1.2 million if taxed at the 36.52% rate. The U.S. requires additional tax payments, including self-employment levies or an additional Medicare surtax, Packard said, which could lower American Amanda Anisimova's prize as the womens' runner-up. Sinner defeated Alcaraz 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 in just three hours and four minutes Sunday, powering past his rival only five weeks after the Spanish tennis phenomenon triumphed at the French Open following a brutal five hour and 29 minute match. Sunday's win is Sinner's first championship at Wimbledon, but his fourth Grand Slam title overall. Swiatek beat Anisimova in just 57 minutes during Saturday's match, winning 6-0 and 6-0 to secure her first Wimbledon title. The match marked the first time in the Open Era of tennis matches—since 1911—that a woman won a singles title at Wimbledon without missing a single game, and is the first time since 1968 that it's happened at any Grand Slam match. What Taxes Could Jannik Sinner Pay? Sinner will pay no additional income tax outside of the U.K. because Monaco is his primary residence, Bosse said. Other top-ranked tennis players like Serbia's Novak Djokovic, whom Sinner defeated in Wimbledon's semifinals, as well as Russia's Daniil Medvedev, Denmark's Holger Rune and Greece's Stefanos Tsitsipas also reside in Monaco, in addition to Formula 1 drivers Max Verstappen, Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc. $72.2 million. That's the combined prize-money pool for Wimbledon, a 7% increase over the previous year, according to the tournament. Forbes Valuation Forbes ranks Alcaraz, who is seeking his third-straight Wimbledon title, the world's highest-paid tennis player with a combined $42.3 million in earnings on and off the court. Swiatek ranks fourth with $26.7 million in earnings, followed by Sinner, who earned a combined $26.6 million.

BOE Governor Bailey Warns Banks Against Issuing Own Stablecoins
Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey has warned the world's largest banks against issuing their own stablecoins, setting up a potential clash with President Donald Trump's administration and its backing of the digital assets. Speaking in an interview with the Times newspaper, Bailey said he 'would much rather' banks offer digital versions of traditional money — known as tokenized deposits — than stablecoins, which are designed to hold a steady value and are usually pegged to a traditional currency. Bailey also warned that stablecoins threaten to take money out of the banking system and leave less funds available for lending, according to the Times interview.
