Rowhurst Avenue, Addlestone

This end-terrace has a clear, medium-scale makeover opportunity: the photographed living areas and bedrooms have dated decoration and carpets, while the kitchen and bathroom offer scope for a more substantial refresh. The private rear garden and brick-built shed add useful outdoor space, and the listing says the roof has recently been replaced, though that has not been independently verified. The dark mark low on a bedroom wall is worth checking as part of a survey; no major structural defect is apparent in the supplied photos.

The main challenge is the price, not the project: at £300,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and adding the £35,000–£60,000 refurbishment range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against the local benchmark for a home of this size. That benchmark is not a post-renovation value forecast, so the numbers make this a difficult opportunity to justify without a stronger case for the finished property. The sale also has tight practical conditions: utilities cannot be reconnected before completion, contractor visits are restricted after agreement, and exchange and completion must happen on the same day.
