The lease end date is stated as 21 June 2911; buyers should confirm the tenure details and other information with their solicitor.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

69out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £150,000, this two-bedroom terrace is priced attractively at £198 per sq ft, around 23% below the local average. That gives buyers a strong entry point for a light, personalising project, with a usable lounge and kitchen/diner and an enclosed rear garden already arranged for seating.

The main scope is a cosmetic refresh: the kitchen and bathroom have dated finishes, and conspicuous wall and ceiling discolouration in one bedroom needs investigating and making good. No obvious major structural failure is visible in the submitted exterior photographs, though the discolouration should be checked during a viewing.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a notably lower price per square foot than the local average, creating an attractive starting point for a first home or rental project.
  • Refresh the dated finishes to give the property a more contemporary feel without the photos suggesting a full-scale refurbishment.
  • Make use of the enclosed rear garden, which already has artificial turf and a raised seating area.

Key risks

  • Investigate the extensive wall and ceiling discolouration in one bedroom and establish what making good will involve.
