Description

Offered at auction, this vacant two-bedroom mid-terrace house is arranged with a lounge, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and an en-suite bathroom/WC above. The property requires modernisation and has a rear yard. The listing describes it as a three-bedroom house elsewhere, so the accommodation should be checked against the sales particulars and floor plan. Talbot Street is accessed from Stamford Street and Southfield Road. Shops, restaurants and cafes are available along Borough Road and in central Middlesbrough, with Albert Park and Ayresome Gardens nearby. Middlesbrough railway station provides services from several operators, and the A66 offers road connections. Viewings, the legal pack and bidding registration are available through the Savills Auctions sales particulars.

Our WHOTS verdict

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

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £37,500, this vacant mid-terrace is a clear renovation canvas, with a separate lounge and dining room, a bay window and a rear yard. The photographed interiors are dated, and peeling and staining affect ceilings in several places; the cause is not established. There is scope to rework the finishes throughout and modernise the kitchen and bathroom, while retaining the separate reception rooms.

The overall opportunity scores low, but that is not a judgement that the asking price is dear: floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed. The roof and rear elevation are also not adequately shown, so their condition needs checking.

Key opportunities

  • Use the separate lounge and dining room as a starting point for creating a more coherent, refreshed ground-floor layout.
  • Modernise the older kitchen and bathroom and renew the dated finishes across the photographed interiors.
  • The bay window, brick frontage and rear yard provide character and outdoor space to build on.

Key risks

  • Ceiling peeling and staining are extensive in several places; the cause and any underlying damage need investigation.
  • The roof covering and rear elevation are not adequately shown, so their condition should be checked.
  • Worn, stripped-back finishes and ceiling deterioration make this a substantial multi-room programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a full interior modernisation and a longer programme.
