Description

This chain-free, one-bedroom ground-floor maisonette is close to Clacton-on-Sea town amenities and is offered for cash purchasers. The accommodation includes an entrance hall with under-stairs storage, a lounge with a front bay window, and a separate kitchen with a further bay window. The kitchen has fitted cupboards and work surfaces, space for a cooker and plumbing for a washing machine. The bedroom has fitted storage and a wall-mounted Worcester gas combi boiler. A bathroom with a bath and shower over is complemented by a separate WC. Outside, the property is understood to include a front garden and an enclosed rear garden of around 25 feet, currently overgrown. Parking is available. The maisonette is described as having 61 years remaining on a 99-year lease that began in October 1988. The listing states that maintenance is shared between the two maisonettes, with buildings insurance currently £300 per year and ground rent £100 per year. Lease terms and costs should be checked with a legal representative. The property is in need of updating, so buyers should allow for refurbishment and investigate the lease and cash-purchase requirement before proceeding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £75,000, this ground-floor maisonette offers a light updating project close to town amenities, with a bay-fronted lounge, fitted bedroom storage and both front and enclosed rear garden space. The photographed rooms appear broadly intact, so the scope is mainly cosmetic: refresh the decoration and flooring, modernise the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes, and clear the overgrown rear garden to reveal what is there.

The WHOTS score is 47/100 (E, Low Opportunity), with location a relative strength but below-average fundamentals holding the overall result back. Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sq ft cannot yet be judged. The 61 years remaining on the lease and cash-purchaser restriction are important points to investigate before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated decoration and flooring across the photographed rooms without evidence of a full-gut project.
  • Update the older kitchen and bathroom finishes to give the maisonette a more current feel.
  • Clear the overgrown rear garden and improve its usability; the property also has a front garden.

Key risks

  • The lease has 61 years remaining and the listing says the property is suitable only for cash purchasers; verify the lease terms and options with a solicitor.
  • Confirm the shared maintenance arrangements and current buildings insurance, ground rent and any related obligations before purchase.
