Description
This two-bedroom mid-terraced house is offered at auction and is described as requiring work, with scope for a buyer to update and personalise it. The ground floor has a separate lounge and dining room, a compact kitchen and a cellar. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom. A rear garden is also included, and the property is offered with no onward chain. Buyers should review the auction terms and information pack, including the reservation fee and completion requirements, and carry out their own legal and property checks.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity
Confidence: LOW
At £170,000, this two-bedroom terrace has a clear but manageable scope to personalise: the separate lounge and dining room are usable, while the compact kitchen and upstairs bathroom offer the most obvious updating opportunities. The estimated works are £8,000–£18,000, with minor redecoration also suggested by marks in places. The cellar and rear garden add to the project’s potential, though their condition and usefulness should be checked in person.
The score is 50/100, a weak overall opportunity. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. This is being sold by Modern Method of Auction, so note the reservation fee and terms; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, meaning the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Update the dated compact kitchen to suit your own layout and finish.
- Refresh the upstairs bathroom and redecorate marked surfaces.
- Make use of the separate lounge and dining room, with a cellar and rear garden adding further potential.
Key risks
- The roof and concealed fabric condition cannot be confirmed from the frontage photographs; inspect and survey before proceeding.
