Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious two-bedroom bungalow offers a well-maintained interior and exterior, making it ready for immediate occupancy. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property features a large open-plan living room, a functional kitchen with appliances, a refurbished shower room, and attractive gardens that enhance its appeal. With off-road parking and a garage, there's also potential for further development, such as converting the garage or utilizing the attic space, subject to planning permissions.

However, the asking price of £270,000 translates to £311/sqf, which is about 11% above the local average of £281/sqf. This price, combined with the estimated renovation costs of £20,000 to £40,000, stretches the all-in costs to £300,000, which is notably higher than the implied current local average value of around £243,194. Therefore, while the property maintains good fundamentals and location, the economics present limitations that potential buyers should consider carefully.

Key opportunities

  • Potential to convert the garage for added living space
  • Opportunity to utilize the large attic for expansion
  • Attractive, private gardens enhancing outdoor space

Key risks

  • All-in costs are stretched compared to local benchmarks for this floor area, impacting expected margins.
