Confidence: MEDIUM

This detached house on Backmoor Crescent in Sheffield offers a spacious family-friendly layout with four bedrooms and ample reception space, making it a great canvas for a renovation project. While the home is currently dated, featuring worn carpets, aged kitchen cabinets, and older bathroom fixtures, it presents a significant opportunity for buyers to modernise and tailor the space to their personal taste. The desirable location near the Norton Lees Golf Club adds to its appeal, providing a serene backdrop for family living.

However, the asking price of £500,000 translates to £314/sqf, which is 17% above the local average of £269/sqf, making it a dear proposition compared to local benchmarks. Additionally, the total investment for the property, combining the purchase price with a renovation range of £40,000 to £80,000, stretches the all-in costs against current local value. Therefore, while the potential for improvement is clear, prospective buyers should consider the financial implications carefully before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious family layout with four bedrooms and multiple reception rooms.
  • Desirable location adjacent to Norton Lees Golf Club, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
  • Opportunity to modernise and personalise the dated interiors to increase property value.

Key risks

  • Asking price plus renovation costs may leave all-in expenses stretched compared to local market values.
