The kitchen, though functional, offers the chance for enhancement and opens directly to the garden. Upstairs, you'll find four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite with en-suite facilities.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This four-bedroom semi-detached home on Rosslyn Avenue presents a solid renovation project for those looking to make their mark. While the interiors are dated and show general wear throughout, this property offers a spacious layout with potential for personalisation. The garden, although average, provides a good outdoor space that can be improved, and the integral garage adds valuable storage or alternative usage options. The property is chain-free and benefits from excellent transport links, making it appealing for families and commuters alike.

However, the asking price of £650,000, translating to £474/sqf, is above the local average of £446/sqf. This places the overall cost, including the anticipated renovation budget of £60,000, at a stretch when compared to local benchmarks for similar properties. This means the all-in cost of around £710,000 may leave little room for value appreciation compared to the implied current market value of £610,541. Buyers should be aware that while the property has exciting potential for improvement, the financials do present some challenges.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout allowing for personalisation and modernisation.
  • Integral garage providing valuable storage or potential alternative use.
  • Good outdoor space in the garden that can be enhanced.

Key risks

  • Asking price plus renovation costs results in stretched all-in costs against local benchmarks.
