48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a substantial three-bedroom semi with two reception rooms, a side driveway and a sizeable, usable rear garden. The dated finishes across the house create a clear modernisation canvas, with the kitchen and coloured bathroom suite among the more distinctive opportunities; the older lean-to could also be reviewed as part of a wider improvement plan. The plot offers scope to explore extension or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents.

The price is the sticking point: at £274/sq ft, the £230,000 asking price is above the local £261/sq ft average. Adding the £35,000–£65,000 refurbishment range puts the purchase-plus-works spend at roughly £265,000–£295,000, stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area. That comparison is not a forecast of the value after renovation, but it makes the current economics a weak part of the opportunity.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom, alongside redecorating and updating floor coverings across the house.
  • Make use of the sizeable rear garden, with scope to improve the weathered paving and create more practical outdoor areas.
  • Explore whether the plot and older lean-to could support a better layout or an extension, subject to planning permission and building regulations.

Key risks

  • At the asking price, adding the £35,000–£65,000 works range takes purchase-plus-refurbishment costs to roughly £265,000–£295,000, well above the local-value benchmark for this floor area; that benchmark is not a post-works valuation.
