36out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious four-bedroom mid-terraced family home presents a solid renovation opportunity, particularly appealing for those looking to create a personalized living space. The generous layout includes a dual aspect lounge/diner and a well-equipped kitchen, both of which could benefit from modern updates to enhance their functionality and aesthetic appeal. The property features good outdoor space with attractive gardens and the added convenience of driveway parking and an integral garage, making it a practical choice for family living.

However, the asking price of £260,000, translating to £244/sqf, comes in at a notable 12.4% above the local average of £217/sqf. Coupled with an all-in renovation cost of around £320,000, this leaves the total investment stretching against local benchmarks for similar properties in the area. This highlights a key risk as it may be challenging to achieve a strong return on investment without significant value-adding improvements. While the property has great potential, it's essential for buyers to carefully consider the financial implications of the renovation before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious dual aspect lounge/diner ideal for modernizing and enhancing family living.
  • Good outdoor space with gardens and driveway parking, adding to the property's appeal.
  • Potential to adapt the well-proportioned bedrooms for various family needs or home office setups.

Key risks

  • Asking price plus renovation costs leave overall investments stretched compared to local benchmarks.
