Confidence: LOW

This detached house presents a significant renovation opportunity, with the potential to reshape the living space across three floors. Located near Blackpool Town Centre, it benefits from proximity to local amenities, which could enhance its appeal post-renovation.

However, the property is in poor condition overall, with extensive wear and damage noted throughout the living areas and bedrooms. The kitchen, while functional, is dated and will require modernisation. The absence of usable floor area makes it challenging to assess its value against local prices, leaving the price point neutral. The project scale is heavy, as significant refurbishment is necessary to bring the property back to a livable state. This translates into a potentially lengthy and costly renovation process, estimated between £100,000 and £200,000.

Key opportunities

  • The three floors provide a blank canvas for creating a bespoke living arrangement, allowing for creative layout changes.
  • The location near Blackpool's amenities and attractions offers potential for increased value after renovation.
  • The property can be transformed into a desirable home or rental unit with the right vision and investment.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Significant damage and wear observed throughout the property could lead to unforeseen costs during renovation.
