WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

72out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

A good-value coastal project: the £80,000 guide price works out at about £140 per sq ft, around 32% below the local average, making this a notably cheap guide on that comparison. Bidding can take the hammer price above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The 573 sq ft top-floor flat has sea views, a usable living room and bedroom, and a private terrace with a separate summerhouse-style space. The work looks mainly cosmetic: refresh the dated finishes, including the kitchen and bathroom, and make the outside space your own. The renovation range is £5,000–£12,000; overall, this is a promising opportunity to personalise a Scarborough Esplanade home.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a guide price around 32% below the local average per sq ft, subject to the final auction price.
  • Personalise the dated interior with a light cosmetic refresh, including the fitted kitchen and bathroom.
  • Make use of the private terrace and separate summerhouse-style space alongside the coastal views.
