51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This large three-bedroom terraced house presents a compelling opportunity for those looking to undertake a substantial renovation project. Priced at £135,000, the asking figure is remarkably low at £131 per square foot, well below the local average of £183 per square foot. This makes it an attractive proposition for buyers aiming to acquire a property with significant potential for value enhancement.

However, the property requires extensive refurbishment throughout, with visible signs of water damage and neglect evident in multiple areas, including the living spaces, bedrooms, and kitchen. The overall condition suggests a full-gut renovation is necessary, which could lead to a total investment of £285,000 when factoring in the renovation costs. This figure exceeds the implied current local average value of £188,931, indicating that while the price is cheap, the overall investment may be stretched against local benchmarks.

Despite these challenges, the spacious layout offers ample opportunity for creative reconfiguration and modernisation, appealing to both investors and homeowners. With the right vision and resources, this property could be transformed into a desirable family home or an attractive rental unit, particularly given its convenient location near the town centre and university campus.

Key opportunities

  • Generous room sizes allow for creative redesign and modernisation.
  • The property's location near the town centre and university makes it attractive for future rental or resale.
  • A blank canvas for those looking to add personal touches and improve the property's value.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Total commitment could reach about £285,000 before you finish, with refurbishment in the region of £150,000, about 34% ahead of typical local benchmarks for this size; post-works value sits outside our data.
