Western Road, Haywards Heath, RH16

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity to acquire a property at a cheap asking price of £350,000, which is notably below the local average at £372/sqf versus £435/sqf. The significant garden space and two garages offer potential for creative landscaping and additional storage or workshop areas, making it an attractive project for those looking to add value.

However, the extensive refurbishment needed throughout the property is a crucial consideration. The all-in costs, including the renovation budget of £100,000 to £200,000, leave the overall investment stretched against local benchmarks, with the implied local average value falling short of the total outlay. The property exhibits signs of wear in the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen, and the exterior is also in poor condition. This heavy renovation project requires dedication and can be a full-gut programme due to the scope of work needed.
