Description

Offered at auction, this ground-floor apartment is set within a period building and is described as having high ceilings and character features. The accommodation includes two bedrooms, a further room that could be used as a bedroom or study, a separate living room, kitchen, bathroom, utility room and a lean-to with access to the rear garden. The listing also notes an entrance hall and a separate WC. Outside, the property has a private rear garden and off-street parking at the front. The agent suggests the utility room could be opened into the outdoor storage area to create a larger room, and mentions possible extension potential subject to planning permission. The sale includes the freehold of the block and is offered with no forward chain. The sale is by Modern Method of Auction, with a 56-day reservation period. Buyers should account for the reservation fee and buyer information pack charge in addition to the purchase price, and review the auction terms and legal information before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

55out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £165,000, the asking price is exceptionally low at £121/sq ft versus a local average of £308/sq ft, making this a compelling price-led opportunity to acquire a characterful ground-floor apartment. Its ornate period frontage, high ceilings, private garden, off-street parking and freehold of the block give it plenty to work with; the visible project is a garden clearance and tidy-up, while the interior condition cannot be judged from the available photos.

The overall score remains weak because the renovation economics are insufficiently evidenced, so the low asking price alone does not establish the investment case. This is being sold by Modern Method of Auction: bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a substantial discount to the local average asking price per square foot.
  • Clear and tidy the private rear garden, making better use of its existing paved areas and storage structures.
  • Make the most of the period frontage, high ceilings, flexible accommodation and freehold of the block.

Key risks

  • The main accommodation’s condition cannot be assessed from the available interior photos.
  • The garden needs clearance and basic tidying, and the roof and building fabric should be checked as their condition cannot be confirmed from the images.
