Description

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Perry Bar offers a significant project opportunity for buyers looking to modernise and extend. The property is situated on a substantial corner plot, providing ample space for potential extensions, which could greatly enhance its value. However, it shows clear signs of wear throughout, including dated living areas and a kitchen that requires updating. The garden is overgrown, adding to the work needed to bring this home up to modern standards.

Despite its good location and potential for transformation, the asking price of £325,000 at £484/sqf is notably above the local average of £273/sqf. This makes the overall investment somewhat stretched, as the total costs (purchase price plus renovation) would exceed local benchmarks for similar properties. While the location and project potential are appealing, prospective buyers should be mindful of the economics as they consider taking on this renovation project.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial corner plot with potential for extension (subject to planning permissions)
  • Opportunity to modernise dated interiors and add personal touches
  • Good location with access to local amenities and transport links

Key risks

  • Asking price combined with refurbishment costs leaves all-in expenses above local benchmarks for the area
