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

68out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This one-bedroom flat at Royston Court is a solid opportunity for cash buyers looking to dive into a renovation project. With an asking price of £80,000, which is significantly below the local average of £343/sqf, prospective investors can acquire this property at a remarkable £149/sqf. This affordable entry point offers substantial potential for value creation through a comprehensive refurbishment.

The flat boasts a well-proportioned layout, but it does require significant updates throughout, including the kitchen and living areas, which show considerable wear. This is a heavy renovation project, but the scope to modernise the space and add personal touches is considerable. With nearby amenities and easy access to Exeter city centre, this location is also appealing for potential tenants or future buyers, enhancing the investment's attractiveness.

Key opportunities

  • The flat's layout allows for creative redesign, maximizing space and modernizing the interiors.
  • The location near local amenities and transport links enhances the property’s appeal for future tenants or resale.
  • The potential to improve the garden area offers additional outdoor space, which is a rare find in apartment living.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £40,000–£80,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • General wear and dated features observed throughout the property may require careful assessment before renovation.
  • The dated kitchen and bathroom will need significant updates to meet modern standards.
