49out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The appeal here is the Old Portsmouth setting and a bright, dual-aspect living/dining space, with views towards the Cathedral and Spinnaker Tower and a tidy rear terrace. The dated carpets and finishes offer a straightforward cosmetic canvas, with scope to refresh the flooring and update the older kitchen and bathroom fittings; the rooms shown appear orderly and without obvious severe damage.

At £300,000, the asking price is slightly above the local £/sq ft benchmark rather than a value-led entry point. With the £8,000–£16,000 refurbishment range, purchase plus refurbishment costs look tight against local benchmarks, so the project works best if the location, layout and potential improvements justify the price to the buyer.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated patterned carpets and older wall finishes across the living spaces and bedrooms.
  • Update the older kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a light cosmetic project.
  • Make the most of the dual-aspect living/dining room, views towards local landmarks and tidy rear terrace.
