WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

59out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This substantial detached home in the established Washbourne Close development offers a lot to work with: spacious, flexible accommodation, a double garage, parking and a level garden. The asking price of £525,000 is 11.3% below the local average per square foot, making it an opportunity to acquire a larger home at a comparatively low price and shape it to suit. It is vacant with no onward chain.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and worn floor finishes across the photographed rooms to give the spacious accommodation a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
  • The dated fitted kitchen and distinctive pink bathroom suite offer clear scope for substantial updating.
  • Make the most of the flexible accommodation, double garage, parking and usable level garden to create a practical family home.

Key risks

  • Investigate the visible low-level wall staining in two bedroom views to establish its cause and whether further work is needed.
