Description
Offered at online auction, this four-bedroom extended end-terrace house is in the Bournville Village Conservation Area. The ground floor has an entrance hall with storage, two reception rooms, one currently arranged as a bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, a second bathroom and attic space. The property was previously used as an HMO, but the seller has not verified its current planning status or whether the existing use can continue. Buyers should check licensing and permitted use with the local council and review the auction legal pack. An indemnity policy is to be provided on completion, and a buyer’s administration fee applies. The house offers scope to modernise and adapt the accommodation, subject to the relevant checks. Front and rear gardens and on-street residents’ parking are available. Bournville railway station, local amenities, schools, parks and Selly Oak Shopping Park are nearby.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £275,000, this four-bedroom home is priced at £246 per sq ft, 17.1% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to acquire and add value. Set in the Bournville Village Conservation Area, it also has useful family-sized accommodation, two bathrooms and front and rear gardens, with Bournville station and local amenities nearby.
The interiors are usable but dated, giving scope for a light, tailored refresh rather than an obvious full-scale overhaul. The kitchen and bathrooms have older finishes, while the gardens would benefit from attention; the exterior and visible roof slopes appear intact in the photos, though those images cannot confirm the condition of the building fabric. The listing is being offered by online auction, so bidding can take the hammer above the guide and the eventual price may not stay this cheap. Buyers should also check the property’s planning and licensing position given its previous HMO use.
Key opportunities
- Acquire at a notably below-average price per square foot, with scope to create value through considered improvements.
- Refresh the dated finishes and selectively update flooring to give the usable reception rooms and bedrooms a more current feel.
- Improve the patchy rear garden, worn paving and overgrown front planting to make better use of the outdoor space.
Key risks
- The listing says the seller has not verified the current planning status; buyers should make their own enquiries about permitted use and any licensing requirements, particularly given the previous HMO use.
