Confidence: MEDIUM

This well-proportioned two-bedroom semi-detached house in Inverness is a noteworthy opportunity for buyers looking to acquire a property that they can modernise. Priced at £145,000, this asking figure translates to £192 per square foot, significantly below the local average of £246 per square foot, making it an attractive option for those looking to create value through renovations. The property features a bright lounge with double aspect windows, functional bedrooms, and a dated but operational kitchen and wet room, all of which present a canvas for updates. The well-maintained garden adds to its appeal, providing generous outdoor space for potential enhancements.

While some wear is evident throughout, particularly in the living areas and kitchen, the overall condition allows for a light refurbishment project with renovation costs estimated between £20,000 to £40,000. With a projected all-in cost of £175,000, this home holds potential for a reasonable return against the local market average, making it a solid choice for first-time buyers or families seeking a home with room to grow. Early viewing is recommended to appreciate the potential this property offers.
