Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £225,000, this five-bedroom terrace is a notably cheap acquisition at £129/sq ft against a local average of £302/sq ft. The strong value and fundamentals make it a good opportunity overall, despite the substantial work involved. The asking price plus the £42,000–£78,000 renovation range gives a broad project budget of £267,000–£303,000 before fees; the £60,000 midpoint is not a GDV.
Key opportunities
- Rework the generous lounge, dining room and study into a coherent set of living and work-from-home spaces.
- The large attic room, described as a self-contained studio/fifth bedroom, offers scope to create a distinctive additional living or hosting space.
- Replace the dated kitchen and refresh the partly stripped bathroom as part of a coordinated modernisation.
Key risks
- The £42,000–£78,000 works range and substantially dated or partly stripped finishes make this a full-gut programme, not a cosmetic refresh; investigate the attic staining before making good.
