74out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £130,000, this four-bedroom freehold is priced at £124/sq ft, around 32% below the local average—a strong entry point for someone looking to add value. It is currently arranged as an HMO and has well-proportioned accommodation, with access to the university and local transport links adding to its appeal; confirm the HMO licence position as part of your checks.

The visible work is a meaningful improvement project: dated and worn finishes, staining or patchy marks in several rooms, older service-area fittings and a rear garden that would benefit from clearance and attention. The kitchen appears usable, so there is scope to prioritise investigation of the staining, redecoration, flooring and garden improvements. The £6,000–£14,000 renovation range gives an indication of the stated works scale; the external render crack near the conservatory junction is also worth checking.

Key opportunities

  • Use the four-bedroom HMO arrangement and well-proportioned accommodation as a starting point for an improved rental setup, subject to confirming the licence position.
  • Refresh the dated flooring and finishes, investigate the wall marks, and make the usable fitted kitchen work within a targeted improvement plan.
  • Clear and improve the paved rear garden, including addressing the visible standing water.

Key risks

  • The £6,000–£14,000 works range covers more than a cosmetic refresh: allow for a coordinated programme of investigating staining, renewing worn finishes and improving the garden.
  • Patchy or dark wall staining appears in several rooms; its cause is not evident and should be investigated before redecoration.
  • A crack is visible in the external render near the conservatory roof junction; check its condition, though no clear roof failure is shown.
