Description

Offered at auction, this two-bedroom terraced house in Great Lever is available with no onward chain. The listing describes it as dated and requiring modernisation, with scope for a purchaser to update the accommodation. It may suit a cash buyer prepared to take on improvement work. The property is on a quiet street close to local shops, schools, convenience stores and leisure facilities. The sale is by traditional auction, with immediate exchange and completion due 28 days later. Buyers should review the information pack and account for the non-refundable deposit, reservation fee and pack charge set out in the auction terms.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

66out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £90,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The dated living space, worn floors and tired kitchen and bathroom finishes give a buyer scope to remake the interiors, with a hard-surfaced rear yard to improve as well. The overall score is C: the price and location are appealing, but the works are substantial and the indicative purchase-plus-renovation midpoint leaves only a modest margin against the local average value—not a forecast of renovated value.

The £35,000–£65,000 renovation range points to a significant project rather than a cosmetic refresh. Staining in several places should be investigated and its source addressed; no major structural defect is apparent in the available exterior image. The listing is by traditional auction: bidding can take the hammer above the £90,000 guide, so the eventual purchase price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the dated living space and finishes to create a more cohesive, modern interior.
  • Replace or refresh the worn kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a coordinated upgrade.
  • Improve the paved rear yard and weathered fencing to make better use of the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • The £35,000–£65,000 works range makes this a substantial programme of making-good and upgrades, not a cosmetic refresh; budget and schedule should allow for checking and addressing the visible staining.
  • The indicative purchase-plus-renovation midpoint leaves only a modest margin against the local average value, before fees and stamp duty.
