Description

This property represents a significant investment opportunity located just a short walk from Blackpool's promenade and South Pier. Positioned in a vibrant area that draws tourists year-round, the spacious 5-bedroom residence has exceptional potential for redevelopment. Currently requiring refurbishment, it offers a blank canvas ready to be transformed into up to 5 self-contained flats, catering perfectly to the thriving holiday rental market or long-term tenants. Features include two bathrooms, a ground floor flat with kitchen and bathroom facilities, and additional small kitchen units in selected bedrooms, enhancing flexibility for various living arrangements. The ample parking available at the rear further adds to its appeal as an investment property in this bustling locale. Offered at auction, this is a prime opportunity for investors looking to capitalize on high-demand rental yields.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At a guide price of £25,000, this is a heavy, full-gut project in a strong Blackpool location, a short walk from the promenade and South Pier. The five-bedroom layout, rear parking and scope to rethink the interior give an investor plenty to work with, but the photographed rooms show extensive stripped and damaged finishes, debris and ceiling openings; the exterior is weathered too. The roof condition is not clearly established.

The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. This is a Modern Method of Auction sale: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The overall WHOTS score is 46/100, grade E: the location and fundamentals are strong, while the scale of the work makes this a demanding project.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the large, adaptable five-bedroom layout around a new use; the listing suggests multiple self-contained flats, though feasibility and compliance need checking.
  • Create a fresh interior from the stripped rooms, including a new kitchen and bathroom, rather than being constrained by the existing finishes and fittings.
  • Make use of the rear hardstanding for parking, a practical feature close to the promenade and local attractions.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors, debris and ceiling openings make this a full interior rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a substantial programme of making-good and replacement finishes.
  • Extensive wall and ceiling deterioration is visible in several rooms, including staining and peeling; the roof condition is not clearly established.
