Confidence: MEDIUM

This extended three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Sharples presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a project. While the asking price of £250,000 comes in above local benchmarks at £296/sqf, the expansive corner plot and substantial accommodation space offer significant potential for transformation. The property requires modernisation throughout, with visible wear in the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen, but this provides a blank canvas for buyers with vision.

The surrounding area is desirable, close to local amenities and highly regarded schools, making this a solid location for future value. However, potential buyers should be mindful that the all-in costs, when factoring in renovation expenses, leave the investment stretched against local averages, which could limit economic upside. This property is ideal for those willing to take on a renovation project, but it is essential to approach with a clear understanding of the financial implications.

Key opportunities

  • Large corner plot provides scope for development or extension, subject to planning permissions.
  • Substantial accommodation space allows for creative redesign and value addition.
  • Potential for a full refurbishment tailored to personal specifications.

Key risks

  • All-in costs are stretched compared to local benchmarks, impacting potential return on investment.
