Alberta Avenue, Summerlee, Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire

This two-bedroom semi-detached home in Coatbridge presents a considerable renovation project, with the potential to transform a dated property into a modern living space. While the asking price of £155,000 equates to £218/sqf, which is above the local average of £174/sqf, the location near local amenities adds to its appeal. However, the asking price combined with the estimated renovation costs puts the all-in investment at £255,000, which stretches beyond the implied current local average value of £123,327. This makes it a challenging financial proposition.

The house offers a solid layout with the potential for a layout reconfiguration, especially with the converted garage space that could be further developed, although it currently lacks planning permission for its WC. The garden appears to be in good condition, which could enhance the overall appeal once renovations are completed. Despite the extensive work required, including a complete overhaul of the kitchen and bathroom, this project allows for significant customization to meet personal tastes and preferences.
