Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This five-bedroom, two-reception mid-terrace has a distinctive three-floor layout and a central Plymouth position near the university, Mutley Plain and public transport. The asking price is £75,000, but floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.

The photographs show widespread deterioration, including a stripped lower-ground room with debris, exposed masonry and ceiling damage. That leaves scope to reshape and rebuild the interior, but this is a heavy project rather than a cosmetic update. The sale is by auction; bidding can take the hammer above the guide price, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The overall score is E, reflecting weak investability alongside value and economics that remain difficult to assess without floor-area data.

Key opportunities

  • Use the three-floor, five-bedroom and two-reception layout as a canvas to rethink how the accommodation works for future occupants.
  • Rebuild the tired interior, including the basic galley kitchen and dated shower room and WC, to create a more cohesive finish.
  • The central position near Plymouth University, Mutley Plain and public transport gives the project a useful location advantage.

Key risks

  • Stripped, debris-filled lower-ground space, damaged finishes across several rooms and worn services and fittings make this a heavy interior rebuild; allow for a substantial programme of investigation and making-good, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • The lower-ground room has exposed masonry and ceiling damage requiring investigation; the limited street view does not establish the roof's condition.
