48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This four-bedroom semi-detached house presents a significant renovation opportunity, with vacant possession allowing for immediate works. While the property is dated throughout—covering the living spaces, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom—this gives you a blank canvas to modernize and enhance the home to your taste. The location is decent, being close to Preston City Centre and local amenities, which adds to its potential appeal.

With a renovation budget estimated between £50,000 to £100,000, the scope for improvement is considerable, making it a project worth considering for the right buyer. However, it's essential to note that the floor area is missing, so the value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet. This means the financial upside remains somewhat uncertain, but the overall fundamentals are sound, providing a chance to create a desirable family home or investment property.

Key opportunities

  • Blank canvas for modernisation and personalisation throughout the property.
  • Good location near Preston City Centre and local amenities.
  • Vacant possession allows for immediate renovations.

Key risks

  • Medium scale project requiring substantial refurbishment.
  • Dated condition throughout may involve unforeseen structural or damp issues.
