An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This two-bedroom upper floor flat presents an attractive opportunity for buyers looking to make their mark on a property. With an asking price of £190,000, it stands out as significantly cheaper compared to the local average of £361/sqf, making it an enticing acquisition for first-time buyers or investors seeking to create value through refurbishment.

While the interior requires extensive work, including unfinished flooring, dated kitchen and bathroom fixtures, and signs of wear in both bedrooms, these elements present a canvas for transformation. The generous layout and additional loft room offer potential for creative redesign, allowing future owners to tailor the space to their preferences. The garden, though overgrown, also holds potential for enhancement. Situated in a convenient location with access to amenities and transport links, this flat is chain-free, further easing the buying process.

Key opportunities

  • The spacious layout and additional loft room provide excellent scope for redesign and potential added value.
  • The garden, while currently overgrown, offers an opportunity for landscaping and outdoor improvements.
  • The property’s chain-free status simplifies the purchasing process, making it an attractive option for buyers.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a potential full-gut programme due to the extensive refurbishment needed across all rooms.
