Our WHOTS verdict

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

65out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £90,000, this three-bedroom terrace is priced at about £127/sq ft, around half the local average, making the asking price a clear opportunity to acquire well below the area benchmark. The two reception rooms and generous rear garden give the project useful scope, while its convenient position close to Derby city centre adds to the appeal.

This is a substantial renovation canvas: the photographed kitchen and bathroom are in poor condition, finishes are worn across the living spaces and bedrooms, and ceiling deterioration and discolouration need investigation. The overgrown garden also offers room to create a more usable outdoor space. The existing £42,000–£78,000 renovation range signals a full-gut scale of work; the engine’s £150,000 purchase-plus-midpoint figure is below its implied local average value, but that is not a renovated GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.

Key opportunities

  • The two reception rooms provide scope to refresh and personalise distinct living and dining spaces.
  • A generous rear garden can be cleared and reshaped into a more usable outdoor area.
  • The low asking price relative to local £/sq ft offers room to acquire this three-bedroom terrace at a substantial discount to the area benchmark.

Key risks

  • Worn finishes throughout the photographed spaces, damaged kitchen and bathroom finishes, and ceiling deterioration make the £42,000–£78,000 works range a full-gut programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Ceiling damage and discolouration need investigation and repair; the roof and rainwater goods condition cannot be confirmed from the photographs.
