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

57out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Downton Road presents a solid opportunity for those looking to invest in a project. Priced at £230,000, the asking price is quite attractive compared to the local average of £379/sqf, making it 14.4% cheaper. This affordability opens the door for first-time buyers or investors to acquire a property with potential for growth in a lively Bristol suburb.

While the interior shows signs of wear and dated decor throughout, there is ample scope for renovation, with a refurbishment range estimated between £40,000 and £80,000. The overall economics are tight, as the all-in costs (purchase price plus refurbishment midpoint) align closely with local benchmarks. However, with some thoughtful improvements, this home could be transformed into a standout property, especially given its good location and off-road parking. Despite the need for significant refurbishment, the potential to create value here is undeniable.
