73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £180,000, this three-bedroom semi-detached is markedly cheaper per square foot than the local average, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The two reception rooms and existing kitchen and bathroom provide a practical base to modernise, while the dated finishes, worn or unfinished flooring and overgrown rear garden offer scope to refresh the house and outdoor space. The exterior appears broadly intact in the available image, and the calculated score reflects strong price and economics alongside a substantial project. This is an auction listing: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The £10,000–£20,000 renovation range indicates a meaningful programme of flooring, decoration and garden work rather than a quick cosmetic touch-up; assess the dated fittings and finishes in person before setting the final scope.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the two reception rooms with new decoration and flooring to give the ground floor a more cohesive feel.
  • The three-bedroom layout and existing kitchen and bathroom give a buyer a usable starting point for a considered modernisation.
  • Clear the overgrown rear garden, improve the worn paving and assess the weathered sheds to make better use of the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • The £10,000–£20,000 works range covers several rooms with unfinished or worn floors, broad redecoration and garden clearance, so allow for a coordinated programme rather than a quick refresh.
