Description

The OPA presents this freehold three-bedroom mid-terrace house in Yardley, Birmingham. The property is currently let on a periodic tenancy, with the listing stating rent of £800 per calendar month. It is described as requiring modernisation, with scope for a purchaser to update the accommodation over time. On the ground floor, the front reception room has a bay window and leads through to a kitchen/diner fitted with wall and base units. A lobby provides space for a washing machine, with access to the bathroom and a side door. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including one with built-in storage, together with loft access from the landing. The rear garden is described as having a paved section, lawn and gated access to a shared rear entry. The listing states that the house has gas central heating, mains utilities, double glazing and on-street parking. It is in Council Tax Band B, and a new EPC is awaited. The agent notes that further material information is available in the property pack; buyers should review this and make their own enquiries. The listing also states a buyer's fee of 2% of the purchase price, subject to a minimum fee of £3,999, inclusive of VAT.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

52out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a light modernisation project with a useful three-bedroom layout, a usable rear garden and a kitchen/diner that could be refreshed rather than necessarily replaced. Older finishes and the visible ceiling staining offer scope to improve presentation, while the staining should be investigated to establish its cause. The property is currently tenanted at £800 per month, which may suit a buyer looking for income alongside future improvement. At 52/100, this is a weaker overall opportunity: the location and fundamentals provide some support, but value versus local £/sqf cannot be judged because the floor area is missing. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation estimate further provisional.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated wallpaper and finishes across the visible bedrooms and kitchen/diner.
  • Improve the paved rear garden with modest maintenance to the fencing and edges.
  • Retain the existing kitchen units if suitable, focusing on presentation rather than assuming a full replacement.

Key risks

  • Investigate the pronounced ceiling staining to determine whether there is active water ingress and what repairs may be needed.
  • Floor area is unavailable, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
