73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £130,000, this three-storey semi is offered at about £71 per sq ft, well below the local average of £176 — a strong acquisition price for a generous 1,825 sq ft home. Its scale, character and cellar give a buyer room to rethink the space, while the dated kitchen and bathroom, worn finishes and overgrown garden provide clear scope to create a more cohesive home. The asking price plus the stated £42,000–£78,000 renovation range indicates a substantial project rather than a cosmetic update; visible wall and ceiling deterioration across several rooms should be investigated as part of planning the works.

Key opportunities

  • Use the generous three-storey layout and cellar to create a home that makes better use of its space and character.
  • Replace the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes and refresh flooring and decoration to give the interior a consistent, updated feel.
  • Clear and improve the overgrown rear garden, making better use of the lawn and brick boundary walls.

Key risks

  • The £42,000–£78,000 works range and deterioration across several rooms make this a substantial, multi-room programme to budget and schedule, not a cosmetic refresh.
  • Peeling and discoloured wall and ceiling surfaces are visible in several rooms and need investigation; the photographs do not establish the condition of the roof or concealed exterior elements.
