53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This semi-detached house offers a great opportunity to acquire a property in a pleasant cul-de-sac location at a price that is exceptionally low compared to the local market. With an asking price of £185,000, the cost per square foot is £210, significantly below the local average of £305, presenting a compelling case for value.

The home features a cozy living room with a fireplace, two good-sized bedrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen, all recently redecorated with new flooring. While the overall condition is average, there are good-sized rooms and modernized spaces like the bathroom, making it a comfortable living environment. The garage does require repair, and the property is of non-standard construction, which potential buyers should consider in terms of mortgage and insurance options. However, with the right vision, there is potential for improvement and personalization in this solid property.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire a property at an exceptional price compared to local market rates.
  • Good-sized rooms with recent updates offer a solid foundation for personalization.
  • The garden space provides potential for landscaping and outdoor improvements.
