Description

Offered at auction, this ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette in Loudwater is being sold as a full renovation project after significant fire damage to the kitchen. The accommodation includes an entrance porch, lounge/diner, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen requires replacement and the listing also identifies a new boiler as necessary; buyers should investigate the extent of fire damage and the full scope of work before bidding. The property has a private enclosed rear garden, an allocated parking space and uPVC double glazing. The lease has approximately 999 years remaining, with no ground rent or service charge stated. The location is on the Loudwater side of High Wycombe, with access to the M40, Wycombe Retail Park, countryside walks and Wycombe Heights Golf Course. Beaconsfield is stated to be less than three miles away. The seller's agent indicates a post-renovation sale estimate and a possible rental estimate, both subject to the works being completed. The sale is subject to auction conditions, including a buyer's premium, deposit and completion timetable. Prospective purchasers should review the legal pack and verify the condition, costs and lease details.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At a £155,000 guide price, this one-bedroom maisonette is notably cheap against the local £/sqf benchmark, giving a project buyer an attractive entry point. The enclosed garden, allocated parking and very long lease add to the appeal. The kitchen has significant fire damage and the listing calls for a full refurbishment, including a replacement kitchen and boiler; the worn interior finishes and overgrown garden also offer clear scope to reshape and improve the home. Bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The overall score is still low because this is a heavy project and the numbers look tight: purchase plus the £45,000–£75,000 renovation range puts the midpoint all-in cost above the local-average benchmark, before fees. The seller’s suggested renovated value is not a guaranteed outcome, so careful costing and inspection of the fire damage will matter.

Key opportunities

  • Rebuild the fire-damaged kitchen and refresh the marked interior finishes to create a coherent, modern home.
  • Improve the enclosed garden from its heavily overgrown state, adding usable private outdoor space.
  • Make use of the ground-floor maisonette’s lounge/diner, allocated parking and approximately 999-year lease as part of a long-term project.

Key risks

  • The fire-damaged kitchen, required boiler replacement and refurbishment throughout make the £45,000–£75,000 works range a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; budget and programme may need room for further work after inspection.
  • The purchase-plus-refurbishment midpoint is above the local-average benchmark, leaving limited headroom before fees.
