Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This spacious mid-terraced house in the desirable Rowlatts Hill suburb of Leicester presents a solid opportunity for those looking to invest in a renovation project. Priced at £125,000, the asking figure is significantly below the local average, translating to just £149/sqf versus £289/sqf locally, making it an attractive buy for anyone looking to create value through improvements.

While the property does require a medium scale of refurbishment, with signs of wear and need for modernization evident throughout, this is where the potential lies. The living area, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom all show age and could benefit from updates, offering the new owner a blank canvas to work with. The low-maintenance garden adds to the appeal, though it could also use some enhancement to maximize its potential. With an all-in renovation budget estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, there’s a clear path to significantly increase the property's value, especially considering the local market fundamentals support a good return on investment.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious layout with two generous double bedrooms, ripe for modernisation.
  • The potential to create a stunning living space with a through lounge diner leading to the garden.
  • Low maintenance garden that can be transformed into an appealing outdoor area.

Key risks

  • Signs of wear and potential structural issues that may need addressing during refurbishment.
