Description

Offered at auction, this freehold mid-terrace house in the Roman Hill area of Lowestoft is described as having two or three bedrooms. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen and bathroom. Upstairs are two bedrooms and an additional room accessed from the rear bedroom. Outside, there is a small front yard and a larger rear garden. The property is stated to be in very poor repair and is being sold as seen. The sale is restricted to cash buyers, with a 60-day completion period; the agent considers the condition likely to make the house unmortgageable. Some rooms may have restricted access, and services have not been tested. The listing gives an approximate internal area of 879 sq ft and an EPC rating of E. Local shops, supermarkets and schools are described as accessible, with Lowestoft town centre, the railway station and the Suffolk coast also within reach. Buyers should review the auction terms, searches and available conveyancing documents before bidding.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

71out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £76,000, this is priced exceptionally keenly at £86/sqf against a local average of £240/sqf, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The photos show a substantial project: damaged finishes and flooring across several rooms, a deteriorated kitchen, a dated bathroom and an overgrown rear garden. For someone ready to rebuild the interiors and improve the garden, the terrace offers plenty of scope to add value. It is being sold by auction, and bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

The main practical constraint is the cash-buyer requirement and 60-day completion, alongside limited access to some rooms and the sale being as seen. The roof condition is not established, so a thorough inspection is important before committing.

Key opportunities

  • The lounge and dining room, together with the additional room off a rear bedroom, offer scope to rethink how the house’s living and sleeping space works.
  • A full interior programme can replace the damaged kitchen and worn finishes while refreshing the dated bathroom.
  • The larger rear garden could be cleared and made into a more usable outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Several rooms have damaged or stained finishes and flooring, alongside a deteriorated kitchen and dated bathroom: plan for a heavy, multi-room rebuild rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Cash buyers only, 60 days to complete, and some rooms may have restricted access; the sale is as seen, so condition and financing checks need to be completed before bidding.
  • Roof condition is not established; inspect the roof and visible vegetation along its edge before committing.
