WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

71out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £110,000, this Grade II listed Ripon terrace is offered at about £130 per sq ft, well below the local average of £297 per sq ft—a strong entry point for someone looking to create value. Its accommodation over three floors, cellar storage and rear garden give the project useful scope, while the traditional brick frontage and surviving fireplace surround provide period character to work with.

The photographed interiors have dated finishes, and the garden and outbuilding would benefit from attention. Dark staining and damp-looking surfaces in the cellar should be investigated before works are specified. The £30,000–£55,000 renovation range indicates a substantial project rather than a quick refresh; the property’s listed status is also worth factoring into planning any changes.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the dated finishes across the three-floor home while retaining and showcasing the traditional fireplace surround and other period character.
  • Improve the rear garden and make better use of its lawn, established shrubs and paved areas.
  • Explore how the cellar storage and rear outbuilding can best support the property once their condition has been assessed.

Key risks

  • The £30,000–£55,000 works range points to a substantial budget and programme, rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Dark staining and damp-looking surfaces in the cellar need investigation before the scope of remedial work is set.
  • The property is Grade II listed, so proposed alterations may require additional care and approval.
