Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious three-bedroom semi-detached home presents a solid opportunity for those looking to invest in a project. With flexible living spaces, including a study that can accommodate a home office, this property offers plenty of scope for personalization. The good-sized garden and large single garage add to its appeal, providing potential for outdoor enhancements and additional storage.

However, the interior is notably dated, with general wear observed throughout, from the living areas to the bedrooms. The kitchen and bathroom also reflect older styles in need of modernization. While the asking price of £245,000 is slightly below the local average, the all-in costs, when factoring in the renovation range of £40,000 to £80,000, stretch the economics against what similar properties are currently valued at. This makes for a challenging investment landscape despite the attractive entry price, and potential buyers should carefully consider the financial implications before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Flexible living spaces with potential for personalization
  • Good-sized garden for landscaping and outdoor improvements
  • Additional study area ideal for home office or alternative uses

Key risks

  • All-in costs may exceed local benchmarks for similar properties, impacting potential return on investment
