Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £225,000, this three-bedroom terrace is priced at £260 per sq ft, 27.6% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. The open-plan lounge/diner gives the project a useful everyday layout, while the worn finishes, dated kitchen and bathroom, and overgrown rear garden offer plenty of scope to reshape and refresh the home. The £35,000–£65,000 renovation range points to a substantial project; the engine’s £275,000 midpoint-based total is below its implied local-average value, but that comparison is not a GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.

The listing is offered by the Modern Method of Auction at a starting bid of £225,000 plus a reservation fee. Bidding can take the hammer price above the guide, so the eventual purchase may not remain this cheap. Dark staining around windows in several rooms is worth investigating, although the street view shows no clear major roof failure.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the open-plan lounge/diner and renew worn flooring and finishes to make the main living space work for modern day-to-day use.
  • Rework the dated kitchen and bathroom, choosing repair or replacement to suit the renovation plan.
  • Clear and improve the rear garden, tackling the weeds, debris, worn paving and weathered fencing to make the outdoor space usable.

Key risks

  • The £35,000–£65,000 works range and worn finishes across the reception rooms and bedrooms, alongside kitchen, bathroom and garden work, call for a substantial budget and programme rather than a quick cosmetic refresh.
  • Dark staining around windows in several rooms should be investigated to establish its cause and any associated repair costs.
