Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £199,995, this three-double-bedroom terrace is priced at about £204 per sq ft, well below the local average of £303 — a strong entry point for someone looking to add value. The dated interiors give the project clear scope: replace the old kitchen, refresh the bathroom, and update finishes and flooring to create a home tailored to your taste. The asking price plus the stated £40,000–£70,000 renovation range gives a simple purchase-and-works range of £239,995–£269,995, before fees and other costs.
The dual-aspect lounge/dining area, enclosed usable garden and gated driveway add appeal, while the submitted views show no obvious major roof or structural failure. Overall, this is a good opportunity where the low asking price and scope for improvement are the main draws.
Key opportunities
- Replace the old kitchen and refresh the dated bathroom as part of a coherent modernisation.
- Update patterned finishes and older flooring across the living areas and bedrooms.
- Make use of the dual-aspect lounge/dining area, enclosed garden and gated off-street parking.
