Description

A six-bedroom detached property on a corner plot, arranged as a four-bedroom house with two self-contained apartments. The accommodation is complemented by a large garden, an outbuilding and off-street parking for two cars. The listing notes scope to extend, subject to planning permission, which would need to be investigated and verified. Located in East Acton, the property is described as being within easy reach of East Acton Underground station on the Central line, local bus routes and shops on Old Oak Common Lane. John Perryn Primary School is approximately a five-minute walk away. The existing multi-unit arrangement and outdoor space offer options to explore, subject to confirming the layout, permissions and relevant requirements.

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

44out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a usable but dated property with a substantial garden, off-street parking and an unusual layout described as a four-bedroom house plus two self-contained apartments. There is scope for a light refresh, particularly to the older bathroom finishes and the weathered exterior, while the garden and outbuildings offer room to improve and maintain over time. The listing also mentions extension potential subject to planning permission, but feasibility is unverified.

The main constraint is the price: at £1,000,000, it is around 15% above the local £/sqf benchmark. Adding the £12,000–£22,000 refurb range leaves the purchase and works cost stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area; that comparison is not a forecast of post-renovation value. The strong fundamentals and distinctive layout give the project interest, but the numbers make this a low-opportunity proposition at the current asking price.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated bathroom finishes and minor internal marks while retaining the generally usable living spaces and kitchens.
  • Make better use of the large garden, paved seating area and outbuildings through ongoing upkeep and considered improvement.
  • Explore the potential of the house-plus-two-apartments layout and the listing’s stated extension potential, subject to verifying details and planning feasibility.

Key risks

  • At the asking price, adding the indicated refurbishment spend leaves the purchase-and-works cost stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area.
  • Budget around £1,017,000 once the asking price and an estimated £17,000 of refurbishment are combined — roughly 14% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
