Description
Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house in York is described as requiring modernisation. Its accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a bay-fronted living room, a separate dining room and a kitchen, with three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The property has front and rear gardens, a driveway alongside the house and a detached garage. The side plot may offer scope for an extension or reconfiguration, subject to planning permission and other necessary consents, and the listing also identifies possible loft-conversion potential, subject to approvals. The location is described as convenient for local amenities, schools and transport links, with York city centre, the University of York and the A64 accessible. The sale is by traditional online auction, with fees applying; buyers should check the legal pack and auction conditions.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
58out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £150,000, the guide is around half the local average per square foot, making this a notably low-priced way to acquire a three-bedroom semi in a convenient York location. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
The listing presents a clear modernisation canvas, with a bay-fronted living room, separate dining room and scope to make the home your own. The driveway, side access, detached garage and established rear garden add useful assets; the side space and loft are described as possible future projects, subject to approvals. The overall score is held back by limited renovation-economics information, rather than by the asking-price comparison.
