Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom semi-detached property in Perry Barr presents a fantastic opportunity for buyers looking to acquire a home at a cheap price compared to local averages. With an asking price of £170,000, the property is priced at just £217/sqf, significantly below the local average of £273/sqf. While the property requires modernisation throughout, this offers a blank canvas for new owners to add their personal touch and improve its value.

The interior shows signs of general wear and tear, with dated features in the living areas, bedrooms, and kitchen. The bathroom also requires attention, with some mould present. Despite these issues, the potential to transform this space into a comfortable family home is considerable. However, buyers should be aware that the all-in costs, including purchasing and renovation, appear tight against local benchmarks. This medium-scale project offers plenty of scope for improvement, making it an intriguing option for those willing to invest the effort.

Key opportunities

  • Great potential for renovation to create a welcoming family home.
  • Cheap asking price compared to local £/sqf offers a solid entry point.
  • Scope to modernise dated interiors and improve overall value.

Key risks

  • General wear and tear observed throughout could require more extensive renovations.
  • Potential damp noted in the bathroom may need addressing.
  • All-in costs (purchase + refurb) are tight against local benchmarks.
