Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom mid-terrace home, located south of Albert Road, offers a promising opportunity for buyers looking to add value in a desirable area. Priced at £250,000, the asking figure is well below the local average of £308/sqf, making it an attractive prospect for first-time buyers or investors. However, the condition of the property reveals visible signs of wear throughout, particularly in the living areas and bedrooms, which will require attention. The kitchen stands out with modern fittings, while the bathroom is basic but functional.

Despite its potential, the overall economics of the project are a concern. With an all-in cost of approximately £310,000, including renovation estimates, the combined figure is stretched against local benchmarks for similar properties. This means that while there is room for improvement, careful budgeting will be necessary to ensure a worthwhile investment. The garden is a pleasant feature, adding to the property's appeal, and with no forward chain, it presents a timely opportunity for those ready to make their mark.

Key opportunities

  • Scope for improvement throughout the property, allowing buyers to customize to their taste.
  • Good location with easy access to local shops, cafés, and the seafront.
  • Low-maintenance garden providing private outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Visible signs of wear throughout, particularly in living areas, may require significant renovations.
  • All-in costs are stretched against local benchmarks, which could impact the investment's profitability.
