68out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £80,000, this is a notably low-cost entry point: the asking price is about £120 per sq ft, well below the local £266 average. The two-reception layout, off-road parking and rear garden give the project useful foundations, while the dated finishes, worn floors and overgrown garden offer scope to reshape and improve the house. The kitchen’s older units, including open or absent-looking base fronts, and the tired bathroom fittings are clear areas to consider upgrading.
The numbers support a potential opportunity, with a 68/100 score and an indicative £122,500 purchase-plus-renovation midpoint against £177,189 at the local average value per sq ft. That comparison is not a GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty. It is being sold by auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap. The visible roof has no obvious major failure in the images; ivy covers a substantial part of the front wall.
Key opportunities
- Rework the two-reception layout and refresh the dated finishes and worn flooring to make better use of the living space.
- Replace or repair the older kitchen units and update the worn bathroom fittings and finishes.
- Clear and improve the overgrown rear garden, making use of the paved paths and existing outbuilding.
Key risks
- The photographed rooms show widespread dated finishes and wear, and the kitchen has open or absent-looking base fronts; a £30,000–£55,000 works range makes this a substantial modernisation programme, not a cosmetic refresh.
