Description

This three-bedroom mid-terrace house is offered with no upward chain and has a ground-floor lounge, fitted kitchen and guest WC, with three bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The lounge opens onto the rear garden, which has fenced boundaries, gated rear access and a brick shed. There is also a front garden. The listing describes the property as potentially needing modernisation. The kitchen has wall and base units, work surfaces, a sink, extractor and space for appliances. Local shops, amenities and transport links are within reach. The seller notes that the property may be of non-standard construction, so buyers should make their own enquiries about construction type and mortgage suitability.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

66out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £170,000, this three-bedroom terrace is priced at £200 per sq ft, around 26% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer looking to acquire and add value. The dated finishes and visible wear across several rooms make this a medium-scale project: there is scope to refresh the kitchen and bathroom, redecorate, replace tired flooring and improve the enclosed rear garden. The brick elevations look broadly intact in the available views, and the stated location near shops and transport links adds to the appeal.

The overall score is C: the price and fundamentals are attractive, but the value case is more measured once improvement work is considered. The listing also flags possible non-standard construction, so buyers should check construction type and mortgage suitability before proceeding.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a notably below-average local £/sq ft and create value through a considered update.
  • Refresh the dated kitchen and bathroom and redecorate marked or damaged finishes across several rooms.
  • Improve the enclosed rear garden and weathered fencing to make better use of the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • The listing describes the property as potentially non-standard construction; confirm the construction type and mortgage availability.
  • Kitchen ceiling discolouration and visible deterioration or staining around the bathroom should be investigated to establish the cause.
