Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £770,000, this mixed-use freehold is priced at about £412 per sq ft, well below the local average of £748 per sq ft—a strong acquisition point for a buyer looking to add value. The vacant three-bedroom duplex sits above a let commercial unit, moments from Turnpike Lane Underground Station, and the spacious living area gives the residential part a useful starting point.

There is a medium-scale improvement project here: refresh the worn carpets and marked finishes, investigate the localised wall staining before making good, and clear and improve the enclosed rear yard. The kitchen appears serviceable and the bathroom is functional but dated. The listing also mentions development potential subject to planning permission, but feasibility and consents are not established. At this guide-free private-treaty asking price, the low local £/sq ft comparison is a notable value advantage.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire the freehold at a markedly below-average local £/sq ft, with a let commercial unit beneath the vacant duplex.
  • Refresh the worn carpets and marked finishes, and investigate and address the localised wall staining.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed rear yard; the spacious living area offers a good base for the residential refresh.

Key risks

  • Investigate the cause and extent of the visible wall staining before making good.
  • The stated development potential is subject to planning permission; feasibility and consents are not established.
