34out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This three-bedroom detached house on Dawlish Road presents a significant renovation project, with visible wear throughout the property. Both reception rooms, as well as the kitchen and bathroom, show signs of aging, indicating a need for cosmetic updates. The potential to extend the property (subject to planning permission) could enhance the living space and overall value, making this an intriguing opportunity for buyers with vision.

However, the asking price of £650,000 comes in at £719/sqf, which is 18.5% above the local average of £607/sqf. Coupled with a renovation budget estimated between £100,000 and £200,000, the all-in costs could stretch significantly compared to local benchmarks for this size of property. This could affect the overall profitability of the investment, particularly with the need for substantial works noted throughout the house.

Key opportunities

  • The chance to extend the property and create additional living space, enhancing its appeal.
  • Opportunity to modernize dated interiors, including the kitchen and bathroom, to increase property value.
  • Located in a desirable area with access to good local amenities and schools.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Factor in roughly £800,000 when purchase and the £150,000 refurb range are added together — roughly 31% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition; post-works value sits outside our data.
