Description

This two-bedroom apartment in Fairwater has a lounge opening onto a small balcony, a separate kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The listing describes the bathroom as updated, while the rest of the property is presented as requiring modernisation, offering scope to adapt the interiors to suit a buyer's needs. A communal entrance and communal garden are also noted. Local shops and services are available around Fairwater Green, with schools, leisure facilities and places to eat in the wider area. Bus routes and nearby stations at Fairwater, Waun-Gron Park and Danescourt connect with Cardiff city centre and surrounding districts, while road links include the A4232 and M4. St Fagans National Museum of History and other green spaces are within reach. The lease has approximately 35 years remaining. Buyers should obtain independent legal and financial advice about the lease term and any extension, including the possible effect on mortgage availability and the purchase process.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a moderate, hands-on project with a clear route to personalising the dated interiors: the photographed lounge, bedroom and hallway offer scope for fresh finishes and flooring, while the kitchen could be updated. The bathroom already appears relatively modern, and the visible block and grounds look broadly intact. Fairwater’s local amenities, transport links and nearby green space add to the appeal. The £80,000 asking price cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing; the 35-year lease is an important point to investigate, including the implications and cost of any extension.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated lounge, bedroom and hallway finishes, including the patterned and worn-looking carpets.
  • Update the older kitchen units and work area to create a more contemporary kitchen/diner.
  • The bathroom appears relatively updated, and the lounge opens onto a small balcony.

Key risks

  • Only approximately 35 years remain on the lease; establish the lease-extension position, likely costs and mortgage implications before proceeding.
