Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom terraced house presents a compelling renovation opportunity, listed at just £45,000—a notably cheap price compared to the local average of £222,373. While the property is in poor condition overall, including worn carpets and peeling paint in the living areas, significant damp in the bathroom, and an overgrown garden, these issues open the door for a creative refurbishment. The exterior brickwork is generally sound, providing a stable base for improvements. The property's layout, with a front lounge, rear kitchen/diner, and two bedrooms, allows for potential reconfiguration to enhance living space and functionality.

However, prospective buyers should be prepared for extensive refurbishment throughout, with a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £150,000. Stripped interiors and a substantial works budget make this a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh. Despite its challenges, the property is situated in a good location with excellent access to local amenities and transport links, making it a project worth considering for those looking to add value through a comprehensive renovation.

Key opportunities

  • The layout allows for creative reconfiguration, potentially maximizing living space.
  • There is scope to modernize the dated kitchen and bathroom, adding contemporary finishes.
  • The garden can be transformed into an inviting outdoor space with some maintenance.

Key risks

  • Extensive refurbishment required throughout the property, with stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget indicating a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
