An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
42out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This vacant second-floor flat offers a clear medium-scale project in a well-connected Hornsey location, with a separate study alongside the bedroom. The dated kitchen and bathroom, worn flooring and wall finishes give a buyer scope to refresh the interiors; the renovation range is £36,000–£68,000. The visible brick exterior and roofline appear generally intact.
The score is held back by weak fundamentals, while the purchase-and-renovation economics cannot be judged fully without a usable floor area or listing-stated GDV. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the dated kitchen, with scope to assess whether worn or incomplete cabinet sections can be repaired or should be replaced.
- Update the bathroom’s patterned blue tiling and older fittings.
- Make use of the separate study alongside the bedroom, while improving worn flooring and marked finishes in the rooms shown.
