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

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £180,000, this substantial 1,733 sq ft five-bedroom house is priced at £104 per sq ft, around 39% below the local average. That is a strong entry point for a buyer looking to acquire and improve a property with two reception rooms, an enclosed rear space and an existing HMO licence for four occupants, subject to checking the licence requirements.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated finishes across the living spaces and bedrooms, including addressing the peeling and missing wall finish in the top-floor room.
  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom finishes to bring the property up to a more contemporary specification.
  • Improve the enclosed, mainly hard-surfaced rear garden and explore the stated parking potential, subject to permissions and works.
