72out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £89,950, this is a notably cheap acquisition against the local £/sqf benchmark, giving the project a strong starting point. The three-floor layout, generous proportions and flexible three/four-bedroom accommodation in Scarborough’s Old Town offer a useful canvas, with scope to redesign the kitchen, modernise the bathroom and refresh the interior. The enclosed courtyard and deteriorated exterior finishes also give a buyer opportunities to improve the outside spaces and presentation.

This is a substantial project rather than a cosmetic update: photographed rooms show widespread dated finishes and wear, while the render and courtyard structures need closer assessment to define the repair scope. The supplied renovation range is £35,000–£65,000, so budgeting and programme planning will matter. Overall, the low entry price and strong modelled economics support a good opportunity, with location scoring more moderately.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the generous three-floor layout and versatile three/four-bedroom accommodation to suit a family home or investment use.
  • Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, and refresh worn decoration and floor coverings to create a more coherent interior.
  • Improve the enclosed courtyard and address the tired exterior render and rear structures to lift the property’s overall presentation.

Key risks

  • The £35,000–£65,000 works range makes this a substantial multi-area programme, with interior modernisation and exterior repairs to scope and sequence rather than a quick refresh.
