48out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At a £39,500 guide price, this three-bedroom terrace offers two reception rooms and a rear garden, with a substantial renovation canvas across the visible interiors. The kitchen and bathroom are old-fashioned, while worn flooring and marked or damaged wall finishes in several rooms point to a broad interior programme; the cause of the staining is unconfirmed. The brick frontage and roof show no obvious major structural failure in the available view.

The score is 48/100, grade E: the house has useful fundamentals, but value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because floor area is missing. The sale is by auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the two reception spaces to create a more cohesive ground-floor feel while retaining the house’s separate living and dining areas.
  • The dated kitchen, bathroom and worn finishes offer scope to refresh the interior around a consistent style.
  • Improve the rear access area and fencing to make better use of the stated enclosed garden.

Key risks

  • Marked and damaged wall surfaces, including staining with an unconfirmed cause, need investigation before the interior programme is finalised.
  • Stripped-back finishes across several rooms make this a substantial multi-room programme; allow for a full interior rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh.
