Mafeking Street, Nottingham, NG2

At £130,000–£140,000, this three-bedroom, three-storey terrace offers a usable starting point and scope to make it your own. The separate living and dining rooms, plus the top-floor room with its sloping timber-panelled ceiling, give the layout some character; dated finishes, wall marks and worn flooring leave room for a cosmetic refresh, while the kitchen and bathroom appear functional but older in style. The enclosed paved courtyard is easy to maintain and could be lifted with modest planting or a tidy-up. The indicative renovation range is £6,000–£14,000.

The overall score is 52/100, grade D: the project has practical merits, but it is a weaker opportunity on the available numbers. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; purchase price plus the renovation midpoint is about £140,000, but without floor area or a stated end value, the resale economics are also unclear. The convenient access to Nottingham City Centre and no upward chain add appeal, though the location score is average.
