Description

Offered at auction, this freehold three-bedroom house is situated close to Leigh Road, with Chalkwell Park and Leigh Broadway within easy reach.

The property is vacant and is described as requiring modernisation and updating throughout. Outside, there is a westerly facing rear garden with a workshop. The house is being sold by live-streamed auction, with telephone, proxy and online bidding available. Auction fees apply, and viewings are by appointment with Hair & Son.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

56out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £350,000, this is priced below the local average on a £/sqf basis, giving project buyers a relatively inexpensive entry point. It is an auction guide price, though, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The house offers two reception rooms, a conservatory and a westerly-facing garden with a workshop, alongside a medium-scale modernisation opportunity. The dated finishes, worn floors and garden give scope to refresh and improve, but the overall economics look tight: purchase and works costs appear to exceed local benchmarks, so the project depends on careful budgeting and the value created through improvement.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated interiors, including the kitchen and bathroom, and improve worn flooring across several rooms.
  • Clear and improve the westerly-facing rear garden, with a workshop that could add useful space once its condition is assessed.
  • Make use of the two reception rooms and conservatory to create a more cohesive home.

Key risks

  • The workshop has exposed framing and incomplete-looking ceiling panels, so its condition and the work needed should be checked.
  • The medium-scale programme spans several areas of the house and the garden, requiring careful budgeting and coordination.
