Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom terraced house in Astley Bridge presents a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a project with genuine potential. Priced at £110,000, the asking figure is an attractive £163/sqf, significantly below the local average of £219/sqf, making it a compelling entry point for those looking to acquire in this desirable area.

While the property does require updating due to its dated interiors and general wear, this offers a canvas for personalization and improvement. The living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen all reflect the need for modernisation, while the garden is in poor condition, providing ample opportunity to enhance the outdoor space. However, with an all-in budget of around £170,000, including refurbishment costs, the margins against local benchmarks are tight, which potential buyers should keep in mind when considering their investment. Overall, this cottage could become a delightful home with the right updates, situated conveniently near local amenities and well-regarded schools.

Key opportunities

  • Significantly below local £/sqf, presenting a low entry price for the area.
  • Potential for extensive modernization and personalization throughout the property, including the living spaces and garden.
  • Good location with access to local amenities and schools, enhancing its appeal as a family home or investment.

Key risks

  • Dated condition throughout, including the kitchen and living areas, requires a medium-scale renovation.
  • All-in costs are tight versus local benchmarks, impacting potential investment returns.
