Description

This three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Lyndale Avenue presents a unique opportunity for those looking to undertake a complete renovation project. The property features three genuine double bedrooms, with spacious dimensions that contribute to a well-balanced layout, eliminating the presence of small box rooms. The central entrance hall, measuring approximately 6.47 meters in length, enhances the sense of space and provides access to the loft, which may offer potential for conversion, subject to necessary consents. The separate lounge overlooks the expansive rear garden, which is one of the property's standout features. The garden includes a patio and extensive lawn, providing a blank canvas for landscaping and outdoor enjoyment. The kitchen, while compact, benefits from direct side access, making it functional despite the need for refurbishment. Offered with no onward chain, this property is ideally suited for buyers seeking to create a home tailored to their specifications. Its location on a popular residential road ensures convenience to local shops, schools, parks, and transport links, including Southend East Station and the seafront. This bungalow is priced to reflect its current condition, making it an attractive proposition for those ready to invest in a substantial refurbishment.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Lyndale Avenue presents a significant renovation opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke home. The property boasts a spacious layout with three genuine double bedrooms and an impressive central entrance hall, adding to its potential. The expansive rear garden offers a blank canvas for landscaping, while the possibility of converting the loft space may further enhance the living area, subject to necessary consents.

However, the asking price of £275,000, which equates to £412/sqf, is notably above the local average of £339/sqf, highlighting a weakness in price/value. Additionally, the overall renovation budget of £125,000 places the all-in costs at approximately £400,000, which is stretched against local benchmarks for similar properties. This makes the economics of the project quite challenging. Visible signs of damp and neglect throughout the property, including in the kitchen and bathroom, indicate that this will be a heavy renovation project, requiring considerable investment and time to transform it into a desirable home.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout with three genuine double bedrooms.
  • Expansive rear garden providing a blank canvas for landscaping.
  • Potential for loft conversion to increase living space, subject to consents.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£150,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Expect total exposure near £400,000 all-in — £125,000 of works on top of the asking price — around 43% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
