60out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This semi-detached house on Fairmount Avenue presents a compelling opportunity for renovation enthusiasts looking to acquire a property significantly below local price benchmarks. With an asking price of £70,000, the cost per square foot is just £148, which is an impressive 37.9% below the local average of £238/sqf. This affordability opens the door for creative improvements and value creation.

However, the existing condition shows considerable wear and outdated features throughout, including the living areas and kitchen. The project scale is medium, with renovation costs estimated between £40,000 and £80,000. While the all-in costs appear tight against local valuations, the potential to transform this space is substantial, especially given the good plot size and vacant possession. Buyers should be aware that the economics are soft, with all-in costs exceeding the implied local average value. Still, the chance to modernize this home makes it an enticing prospect for those ready to roll up their sleeves.

Key opportunities

  • Excellent potential to modernize and improve living spaces throughout.
  • Good plot size for adding value or expanding the property.
  • Vacant possession allows for immediate renovations without tenant considerations.

Key risks

  • Overall dated condition requiring significant updating and refurbishment.
  • Medium project scale may stretch budgets depending on chosen improvements.
