WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

75out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £145,000, this two-bedroom Torquay flat is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The generous space, coastal setting and views give you a good canvas for a medium-scale update, with dated finishes and marked or stained ceilings visible in several rooms. The older kitchen and bathroom also offer scope to bring the interiors up to your own style.

The building and visible grounds appear generally maintained, and the fireplace adds character to the reception room. The flat has 85 years remaining on the lease and a share of the freehold; check the service charge and ground rent as part of your enquiries.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at £145,000, substantially below the local average per square foot.
  • Refresh the dated decor and flooring, and update the older kitchen and bathroom to create a more contemporary interior.
  • Make the most of the generous accommodation, reception-room fireplace and coastal views.
