Description

This one-bedroom flat offers approximately 495 sq ft of accommodation, including a sitting room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The layout is arranged around a central hallway, with stairs leading to the ground-floor entrance, and the property also benefits from a garage.

Buyers should review the buyer information pack and the reservation fee terms before bidding. The flat is in Goldsworth Park, a residential area of Woking. Goldsworth Park shopping centre, including Waitrose and other local services, is nearby, as are Goldsworth Park Lake and surrounding recreational areas. Woking town centre is approximately 1.3 miles away and has a range of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline station with services to London Waterloo. Road connections include the A320 and M25. The property is leasehold, with a 999-year lease from September 1976. The listing states mains water, electricity and drainage, electric heating, a £250 annual building insurance premium, £35 annual ground rent, Council Tax Band C and an EPC rating of D.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

67out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £140,000, this flat is priced well below the local average on a £/sq ft basis, making the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire. The separate sitting room and kitchen, double bedroom and garage provide a practical starting point, while the maintained grounds and generally intact-looking exterior add to the appeal.

Inside, there is a defined medium-scale project: dated finishes and worn carpets, an older kitchen, and a bathroom with a damaged bath panel give scope to refresh the accommodation to your own taste. The £30,000–£55,000 renovation range puts the midpoint purchase-plus-works figure at £182,500, below the implied current local average value; that comparison is not a renovated GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty. The property is being sold by modern method of auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom, including replacing the damaged bath panel.
  • Update the sitting room and bedroom wall finishes and flooring to create a more cohesive interior.
  • Make use of the separate kitchen and sitting room, double bedroom and garage as a practical base for a tailored home or investment.
