46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

Bright reception spaces, a long rear garden and an adaptable four-bedroom layout give this house a useful canvas, with scope for light cosmetic improvements to the dated kitchen, worn carpets and untended garden. The clean-looking bathroom and generally usable presentation help keep the immediate project relatively modest, with the renovation range at £5,000–£12,000.

The main constraint is the price: at £550,000, the asking price is about 13% above the local £/sq ft benchmark, and purchase plus the midpoint refurb cost looks tight against local benchmarks. That makes this a weaker overall opportunity despite its good fundamentals and location; the stated HMO credentials and family-home flexibility may still appeal to a buyer who values those specific options.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated but apparently functional kitchen and worn bedroom carpets without taking on a major interior project.
  • Clear and maintain the long rear garden, with the visible outbuilding adding useful storage or other potential use subject to consents.
  • The four-bedroom layout is described as licensed for HMO use while also offering flexibility as a family home.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above the local £/sq ft benchmark, while purchase and refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks.
