📍 Area Watchout
⚠️ Risk Context — Dudley & West Midlands
- Article 4 Direction: Active in Dudley borough — HMO licensing required for small HMOs (3+ unrelated tenants). Check before purchasing.
- Void Risk: Moderate (3-6 weeks typical) in DY postcodes. B44/Birmingham areas slightly lower (2-4 weeks).
- Rental Yield: 5-7% gross typical in DY2/B64/DY5. 4-5.5% in B44/B63. Strong student & professional demand near Birmingham.
- Crime Level: Moderate in Netherton/Cradley Heath. Lower in Halesowen/Great Barr.
- Key Strategy: BRRR works well here — purchase at 85% of market value, refurb to force equity, refinance.
