The house is in Penwortham, with local shops, schools and transport links nearby and access to Preston and the motorway network. Roberts & Co Estate Agents are marketing the property.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

59out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £160,000, this three-bedroom terrace is priced below the local average per square foot, giving buyers an opportunity to acquire a spacious home at a relative discount. Its two reception rooms, driveway parking and established rear garden are strong fundamentals, while the dated finishes across the photographed rooms offer a clear, manageable canvas for personalisation. The visible work looks mainly cosmetic, with a renovation range of £5,000–£12,000; the score remains weak overall because the estimated purchase price plus midpoint renovation cost leaves only a modest margin against the implied local average value.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire below the local average £/sqf, with the asking price offering relative value.
  • Refresh dated carpets and wall finishes across the photographed rooms to give the interior a more contemporary feel.
  • Make use of the flexible two-reception layout, driveway parking and established rear garden.
