Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This grand double-fronted detached house offers a significant opportunity for someone looking to create a substantial family home in a desirable Wimbledon location. While currently arranged as three self-contained flats, planning permission has been granted to convert the property into a single-family dwelling, allowing for a generous 4,100 sq ft layout, with potential for further expansion to over 5,500 sq ft with a basement. The spacious garden and period features add charm, and there’s considerable scope for modern renovations to enhance its appeal.

However, the asking price of £4,250,000 at £1,163/sqf is quite steep compared to the local average of £746/sqf, making it a dear proposition in terms of value. With renovation costs estimated between £150,000 and £300,000, the all-in costs could stretch the budget further against local benchmarks. Prospective buyers should weigh the potential for value creation against the current economic landscape and the significant refurbishment required to modernize the dated interiors and improve the overall condition of the property.

Key opportunities

  • Approved plans to convert into a single-family dwelling with potential expansion to over 5,500 sq ft.
  • Spacious garden provides an excellent opportunity for landscaping and outdoor enhancements.
  • Retain original features like fireplaces and cornicing while modernizing the layout.

Key risks

  • All-in costs may exceed local benchmarks, stretching the budget for potential renovations.
