Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £300,000, this Victorian terrace is priced at £336 per sq ft, around 27.5% below the local average—a strong opportunity to acquire below the area benchmark. Its large through living/dining room, bay window and fireplace give the home character, while the two double bedrooms and enclosed rear garden add to its appeal.
The work looks light rather than a major renovation: older finishes in the living space, kitchen and bathroom offer scope to refresh and put your own stamp on the property. It is being sold by the Modern Method of Auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen finishes and flooring to give the good-sized space a more current feel.
- The large through living/dining room has a bay window and feature fireplace, with scope to update its décor and flooring.
- Improve the enclosed rear garden by addressing the weathered paving and fencing.
