Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This charming three-bedroom terraced house in Swindon presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to acquire a property at a competitive price. With an asking price of £170,000, it stands at £219 per square foot, which is an impressive 30.4% below the local average of £315 per square foot. This affordability opens the door for savvy buyers to invest in a renovation project that can significantly increase value.

While the property does show signs of general wear and tear throughout, it offers a solid foundation for a medium-scale refurbishment. The living spaces, bedrooms, and both the kitchen and bathroom are functional but dated, providing a blank canvas for someone looking to inject their personal style and modernize the interiors. Additionally, the garden is overgrown and requires landscaping, presenting another area for enhancement. With a renovation budget estimated between £40,000 and £80,000, this home is ideal for those with a vision to transform it into a comfortable and appealing family residence.

Key opportunities

  • Transform dated interiors into a modern living space.
  • Enhance the overgrown garden into a usable outdoor area.
  • Capitalize on the property's family appeal with three bedrooms.

Key risks

  • Moderate refurbishment required throughout, including potential updates to the roof and structure.
