Ffordd Cynan, Bangor, Gwynedd, LL57

This three-bedroom detached house presents a solid opportunity for those looking to invest in a project. The property is well-maintained overall, featuring a bright and inviting living room, a functional and spacious kitchen, and well-kept gardens that add to the appeal. However, the bathroom is notably dated, providing a canvas for modernisation that can significantly enhance the property's value.

Despite these positives, the asking price of £240,000 translates to £252/sqf, which is 23.9% above the local average of £203/sqf. This positions the property as a relatively expensive option within the market. Furthermore, when factoring in the renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, the total investment stretches beyond local benchmarks for similar properties. This could limit potential returns on investment, making it essential for buyers to carefully consider their budget before proceeding.

On renovation economics, combining the asking price with refurbishment of around £60,000 lifts all-in commitment to about £300,000 — around 35% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. That is why the overall grade stays low; we have not forecast value after improvement.
