Confidence: MEDIUM

At £130,000, this compact studio is priced below the local average at £378/sqf versus £439/sqf, giving buyers an appealingly affordable entry point. The separate kitchen and bathroom, alongside a tidy living/sleeping area, make the layout practical, while the older kitchen and bathroom finishes offer scope for a light cosmetic update.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire below the local average £/sqf, with the asking price offering a strong starting point.
  • Refresh the older kitchen finishes to give the separate kitchen a more contemporary feel.
  • Update the dated bathroom fittings and finishes as part of a light cosmetic improvement.
