“Each of the new dwellings, which are of an individual design, will feature five bedrooms and three bathrooms as well as garaging, and are considered ideal for resale into the local marketplace or perhaps for retention for holiday use or a potential rental income.”

Let at £28,640 pa, plus two vacant rooms, a former hotel called The Roseglen, at 12 Palmerston Road, Shanklin, is a house in multiple occupation (HMO) licence.
Guided freehold at £300,000 – £330,000, there is planning permission for the 10-bedroom property to be converted into eight apartments.
Rob said:
“Roseglen is typical of many former seaside hotels, having previously provided holiday accommodation which is no longer required with people’s changing holiday habits.
“In common with many similar buildings the property now needs to be re-purposed and accordingly, the current owners have obtained an HMO licence from the Isle of Wight Council.
“Six of the former hotel rooms are now let under the terms of Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreements and are producing a worthwhile income.
“Additionally, the current owners have also obtained planning permission for conversion into eight residential flats, which will be ideally suited for addition to an income-producing letting portfolio or potentially for reselling to the local marketplace.
“The new apartments will be a mix of one and two-bedroom units.”
