56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This mid-terrace house on Princess Street presents a compelling opportunity to acquire a property at a significantly lower price point compared to local averages. With an asking price of £57,000, it sits at £72/sqf, which is a remarkable 47% below the local average of £135/sqf. This affordability opens the door for buyers looking to invest in a refurbishment project.

However, while the price is attractive, the economics of the renovation present a challenge. The estimated renovation costs range between £50,000 and £100,000, bringing the total investment to between £132,000 and £157,000. This total is stretched against the implied local average value of £107,635, resulting in a potential negative margin. The property shows signs of wear throughout, with dated interiors and an unfinished kitchen area, indicating that a significant amount of work is needed to modernize the home. Despite these challenges, the good location near amenities and the potential for value creation through refurbishment could appeal to investors willing to navigate the project scale.

Key opportunities

  • The low asking price allows for creative renovations to significantly increase property value.
  • The property’s location offers access to amenities, enhancing its appeal post-renovation.
  • The medium scale of refurbishment allows for a range of improvements, from cosmetic updates to structural enhancements.

Key risks

  • The total investment after renovation may fall short of local market values, leading to potential financial strain.
  • General signs of wear and unfinished areas throughout the property indicate a need for extensive refurbishment.
  • Plan on something close to £132,000 when purchase and the £75,000 refurb range are added together — around 18% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today; post-works value sits outside our data.
