Description

This four-bedroom Hove house offers two reception rooms, a large kitchen and dining area, and bathroom facilities on both floors. The layout provides several options for how the ground-floor rooms are used, while the fourth bedroom could also serve as a study or home office. The kitchen and bathrooms, along with the flooring and decoration, are identified as areas for modernisation. The property therefore gives a buyer scope to update the existing accommodation to suit their requirements. The listing also notes the possibility of investigating a roof-space extension, subject to planning permission, building regulations and other necessary consents. Any proposal would need to be checked independently. Frith Road is within reach of shops, cafes, restaurants and local services on George Street and Portland Road, as well as Hove's seafront. Hove railway station and local bus services provide connections around Brighton and Hove and further afield. The property is offered with no onward chain.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a good-value Hove project: the £525,000 asking price works out at £428/sq ft, 18.6% below the local average, giving buyers an opportunity to acquire the house below the area’s typical price level. The two reception rooms, generous kitchen-dining space and four bedrooms provide a flexible base, while the dated finishes and worn flooring leave clear scope to modernise and make it your own. The renovation range is £45,000–£75,000; using its £60,000 midpoint, the purchase plus works is £585,000 against an implied current local-average value of £644,850. That comparison is not a GDV and excludes stamp duty and fees.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen-dining room to make better use of its generous footprint.
  • Refresh the two reception rooms and bedrooms with updated decoration and flooring.
  • Improve the neglected rear garden and investigate the stated roof-space potential, subject to the necessary consents.

Key risks

  • The rear boundary wall has areas of degraded-looking masonry and should be assessed.
  • Roof condition cannot be fully assessed from the available exterior views.
