WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
76out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
Burgess House is a distinctive Victorian project: its 5,840 sq ft, multiple rooms and 0.65-acre grounds offer plenty of scope to reshape a former community-use property. The asking price of £775,000 works out at £133 per sq ft, well below the local average of £263, making the acquisition price a clear strength. The dated finishes, older bathrooms and basic domestic kitchen give a buyer substantial room to improve the interior; the grounds, garages and garden room add to the opportunity. Renovation is estimated at £65,000–£120,000, with the midpoint-based purchase-plus-works figure of £867,500 comparing favourably with the implied local average value, though that is not a GDV and excludes fees and other costs.
Key opportunities
- Acquire 5,840 sq ft at £133 per sq ft, substantially below the local average.
- Refresh the dated interiors, including the basic domestic kitchen, older bathrooms and flooring, to create a more suitable finish for the chosen use.
- Make use of the 0.65-acre grounds, mature trees, parking and ancillary garages, sheds and garden room.
