Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £265,000, this two-bedroom semi-detached house is priced at £275 per sq ft, well below the local average of £352 per sq ft—an attractive entry point for someone looking to improve a property and build value. It has driveway parking and a generous rear garden with a patio, shed and established planting, while the dated finishes across the living space and other visible rooms offer a clear, light-scale cosmetic project rather than an obvious major structural overhaul.

The renovation range is £6,000–£14,000. The engine’s £275,000 all-in midpoint comparison is against an implied current local average value, not a renovated GDV, and excludes stamp duty and fees. Overall, this is a good opportunity, supported by its below-average asking price and useful scope to refresh the interiors and tidy the garden.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated living area, including its tiled flooring, textured ceilings and exposed brick fireplace.
  • Update the older kitchen and bathroom finishes as part of a light cosmetic project.
  • Tidy the lawn and garden edges to make better use of the patio, shed and established planting.
