Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom terraced house presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property that can be modernised to suit personal tastes. The asking price of £160,000 is notably cheap compared to the local average of £231/sqf, making this a great entry point into the Warrington market. With a potential renovation budget of £40,000 to £80,000, there is ample scope to transform this dated home into a contemporary living space while still remaining below the local market value.

The property boasts generous living areas, an enclosed rear garden, and a convenient location near Warrington town centre and local amenities. However, it is important to note that the interior shows signs of wear and requires updating throughout, including the kitchen, bathroom, and bedrooms. The garden is overgrown and would benefit from maintenance, and the exterior brickwork also shows some wear. Overall, this house is a blank canvas with significant potential for those willing to undertake a medium-scale renovation project.

Key opportunities

  • Significantly below local average price per square foot allows for equity gains post-renovation.
  • Generous living space provides ample room for reconfiguration and personalisation.
  • Opportunity to enhance the outdoor space, creating a desirable garden area.

Key risks

  • General wear and need for updating observed throughout, which will require investment.
  • Potential damp issues may need to be assessed during renovations.
  • Medium-scale renovation could lead to extended project timelines and costs.
