Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached house presents a considerable opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a family home in a popular area. The asking price of £250,000 equates to just £244 per square foot, which is notably below the local average of £318 per square foot, making this a compelling option for acquisition and refurbishment.

While the property is dated and requires modernization throughout, it offers ample scope for improvement. The spacious kitchen/dining area and generous L-shaped lounge can be transformed into modern living spaces, while the good-sized bedrooms provide a solid foundation for a family home. The large south-facing garden, along with the potential to enhance the existing outbuildings, adds further value to the property. The medium scale of renovation needed, with estimates ranging between £40,000 and £80,000, allows for flexibility in planning your improvements without being overwhelming.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the dated interiors into a modern family home with a spacious kitchen/dining area and versatile lounge space.
  • Utilize the large south-facing garden for outdoor living, along with the potential to refurbish outbuildings for additional use.
  • Explore opportunities to extend the property, subject to planning permission, to increase living space.

Key risks

  • Moderate condition throughout may require careful assessment and budgeting for necessary repairs.
  • Potential damp issues in several rooms could impact the renovation timeline and costs.
