Description

Offered at auction, this three-bedroom semi-detached house occupies a corner plot in Lemington and includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, sunroom and utility area.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a family bathroom and a separate WC. Outside, the property has a private garden with mature trees, a driveway and a garage. The listing describes the house as requiring modernisation, making it an option for buyers considering updates to the existing accommodation. It is freehold, in Council Tax Band A, and the EPC is stated as D in the listing text, with another section noting the rating as TBC. The property is in a residential part of Lemington, with local shops, schools and public transport links described as nearby. The listing also notes road connections and access to the Metrocentre. The sale is by conditional auction, with a non-refundable deposit and a separate reservation fee; prospective bidders should review the legal pack and auction terms before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £140,000, this three-bedroom semi has a promising canvas: two reception rooms, a sunroom, and a corner plot with a private garden, driveway and garage. The interiors look clean and usable but dated, making this a light project centred on refreshed decoration, flooring and some garden pruning rather than a major overhaul. The kitchen and shower room also appear intact in the photos.

The overall score is 51/100 (D, Weak Opportunity), with fundamentals stronger than the value and economics assessment. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged yet; the price should not be read as either cheap or dear on the available information. The listing is being sold by conditional auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated carpets and decorative finishes across the shown living spaces and bedrooms.
  • Make the most of the two reception rooms and sunroom within the home's generous layout.
  • Prune and tidy the mature garden planting while retaining the privacy, driveway and garage.
