Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom end of terrace house presents a strong opportunity for those looking to undertake a significant renovation project. With a guide price of £200,000, it's priced at just £193/sqf, which is remarkably below the local average of £446/sqf. This creates a unique chance to acquire a property with great potential for value increase upon completion of works. The house, however, is in a poor state of repair, showing extensive signs of neglect throughout.

The property’s layout allows for creative reconfiguration, and its location near Harold Wood Train Station and local parks enhances its appeal. However, potential buyers should be prepared for a heavy refurbishment project, with renovation costs estimated between £100,000 and £200,000. The interiors are stripped down, making it a full-gut programme rather than a simple refresh. The opportunity to transform this house into a desirable home is significant, but it comes with the responsibility of addressing the extensive works required.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the stripped-down kitchen and bathroom into modern, functional spaces.
  • Reconfigure the layout to maximize living space and improve flow.
  • Enhance the overgrown garden into an appealing outdoor area.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
