41out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a clean, usable three-bedroom semi with a spacious lounge/diner opening onto an enclosed, established garden, plus a driveway and garage. The dated but serviceable finishes offer a straightforward canvas for cosmetic updating, including refreshing the kitchen, flooring and décor to suit your taste. The maintained exterior and quiet cul-de-sac setting add to its appeal.
The asking price is the sticking point: at £343 per sq ft, it is above the local average of £302. The £5,000–£15,000 refurb range also leaves the purchase price plus works stretched against the local benchmark for a home of this floor area. That comparison is with current local average value, not a forecast of what the property could sell for after renovation.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen finishes and flooring while keeping the existing functional layout.
- Update the photographed reception room and bedrooms with new décor and finishes to create a more contemporary feel.
- Make use of the spacious lounge/diner, garden access and established enclosed garden as a strong everyday living setup.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding the £5,000–£15,000 refurb budget leaves the total spend stretched against the local average-value benchmark for this floor area.
- Plan on something close to £265,000 before you finish, with refurbishment in the region of £10,000, about 15% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size; post-works value sits outside our data.
