Description

Offered at auction through the Modern Method of Auction with GOTO, this three-bedroom home is being sold with no onward chain. The ground floor has a hallway and a spacious reception room with room for living and dining, alongside a generous rear kitchen that could be updated or reconfigured. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a bathroom and a separate WC. The layout and room sizes provide scope for modernisation to suit a purchaser's plans. The property is in a residential part of Middlesbrough, close to local shops, schools and everyday services. The town centre is accessible, and the A66, A19 and local bus routes provide connections around Teesside. Buyers should check the auction terms and property information before proceeding.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom home has a clear, medium-scale improvement canvas: the reception room and bedrooms have dated finishes, while the kitchen and bathroom/WC show more pronounced staining and worn or damaged details. Updating those areas, refreshing floors and decoration, and tidying the enclosed rear garden could give the straightforward layout a more contemporary feel; the brick exterior and roof look generally intact in the supplied views.

The numbers are the main constraint. At £90,000, the asking price is already above the local £/sqf benchmark, and adding the £30,000–£50,000 renovation range leaves purchase-plus-works costs stretched against the local average for this floor area. That comparison is with a local benchmark, not a forecast of the value after renovation, so the project needs careful cost control and a price that makes the scope work.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated reception room and bedroom finishes, including decoration and floor coverings.
  • Rework the visibly worn kitchen and bathroom/WC finishes to suit a more modern style.
  • Tidy or improve the enclosed rear garden, including the weathered covered structure and basic hardstanding.

Key risks

  • At the asking price, adding the £30,000–£50,000 works range puts purchase-plus-renovation costs well above the local average benchmark for this floor area; the figures leave limited room for cost overruns.
  • All-in spend is likely to land near £130,000 when purchase and the £40,000 refurb range are added together — roughly 36% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition; we have not assumed a post-renovation resale figure.
