Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This detached house presents a solid investment opportunity with its five letting rooms, making it particularly appealing for investors looking to capitalize on the rental market close to Chester University and the city centre. While the property shows signs of wear in several areas and features dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, these aspects can be seen as opportunities for improvement. With a medium refurbishment scale, potential buyers can envision transforming this average space into a more modern and functional home or rental property.

The asking price of £290,000 is quite competitive, especially considering the lack of specific floor area data which prevents a direct comparison to local £/sqf values. This means the price cannot be judged against the averages in the area yet. With renovation costs estimated between £40,000 to £80,000, there is ample scope for value addition through updates and refurbishment. Overall, this property holds potential for those willing to invest in its enhancement.

Key opportunities

  • Five letting rooms layout ideal for rental income.
  • Scope to modernize dated kitchen and bathroom fittings.
  • Potential to enhance overall property appeal through refurbishment.

Key risks

  • Some areas show signs of wear that will need addressing.
  • Medium refurbishment scale may require a significant investment of time and resources.
