Description
Offered at auction, this freehold three-bedroom end-of-terrace house is sold with vacant possession and a six-week completion period or earlier. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with an entrance hall, living room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom/WC, as well as a lean-to and rear garden. The property is described as requiring modernisation, providing scope for refurbishment subject to inspection and the buyer's plans.
The house is situated off Caterham High Street, close to town-centre amenities and Caterham railway station. Coulsdon Common is also nearby. The EPC rating is D and the council tax band is D. Buyers should review the legal documentation and special conditions for any additional completion fees; the auctioneer's stated buyer fee is £1,500 including VAT for lots sold above £10,000.
WHOTS analysis
Our WHOTS verdict
An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.
73out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £230,000, this is 37.8% below the local average £/sqf, making the asking price a strong entry point for a buyer looking to create value. The three-bedroom layout, separate living and dining rooms and enclosed garden give the project a useful foundation, while the worn kitchen and bathroom, damaged finishes and tired flooring offer plenty of scope to reshape and update the house. The visible roof covering appears broadly intact, but the dated rear lean-to and additions merit inspection.
The score is a good opportunity overall, supported by the low asking price and strong indicative economics: the purchase price plus the stated renovation midpoint is below the implied current local average value. That comparison is not a renovated GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty. This is an online auction guide price; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.
Key opportunities
- Rework the separate living and dining spaces and update their finishes to make the ground floor feel more cohesive.
- Replace the visibly worn kitchen and bathroom fittings and finishes as part of a coordinated modernisation.
- Improve the enclosed rear garden with refreshed paving, fencing and planting.
Key risks
- Worn carpets, peeling wall coverings and damaged surfaces across several rooms, alongside kitchen and bathroom replacement, put the £55,000–£90,000 works range firmly in full-project territory rather than a cosmetic refresh.
- The dated rear lean-to and additions need inspection to establish their condition and whether repair or replacement is needed.
