75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £170,000, this two-bedroom top-floor flat is priced well below the local average per square foot, making it an attractive acquisition for someone looking to add value. It has a spacious-looking lounge with a Juliet balcony, allocated parking, communal gardens and a share of freehold with a very long lease; it is also chain free and within walking distance of Stevenage station and the town centre.

The work looks light rather than a major overhaul: dated finishes, marked walls and some ceiling discolouration are visible in several rooms, while the kitchen and shower room offer scope for a refresh. The visible exterior appears generally maintained. The sale is through the Modern Method of Auction, so bidding can take the hammer above the guide and the eventual price may not stay this cheap; buyers should also review the reservation terms and fees.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes, marked walls and worn flooring to give the lounge and bedrooms a more cohesive feel.
  • Update the older kitchen and shower-room finishes to suit a new owner, with the photos not establishing that full replacement is necessary.
  • Acquire a chain-free flat with allocated parking, communal gardens and a share of freehold at a price well below the local £/sqf average.
