Description

Georgia Piper Properties presents a two-bedroom terraced house in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, arranged over two floors. The ground floor has an entrance porch, two reception rooms, a galley kitchen and a bathroom, with two bedrooms upstairs. An enclosed rear yard provides outdoor space. The property is offered in its current condition and needs comprehensive refurbishment. The kitchen fittings are damaged or incomplete, the bathroom has deteriorated finishes, and the reception rooms and bedrooms require new floor finishes and redecoration. The rear yard is overgrown and needs clearing. UPVC double glazing and a Vaillant ecoTEC Sustain gas boiler are reported, but the boiler, heating system, appliances and other services have not been tested. The tenure is to be confirmed, and a new EPC assessment is required. Buyers should make their own inspections and obtain professional advice on the work needed.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

43out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £69,950, this is a clearly defined heavy renovation project rather than a cosmetic refresh. The two reception rooms offer useful flexibility, and the traditional layout gives scope to reshape the interior while renewing the visibly deteriorated kitchen and bathroom, worn finishes and overgrown rear yard. The stated double glazing and gas boiler are potential starting points, though the heating system and services are untested.

The overall WHOTS score is 43/100 (grade E), reflecting weak investability in the current condition, alongside good location and low assessed risk. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the asking price alone is not enough to call it cheap or dear.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the two separate reception rooms to suit modern living while retaining the traditional two-room layout.
  • Create a fresh interior by replacing the visibly deteriorated kitchen and bathroom and renewing floors and finishes throughout the photographed rooms.
  • Clear and improve the enclosed rear yard to make better use of the outdoor space.

Key risks

  • Stripped, heavily marked floors and deteriorated finishes across several rooms, plus a severely damaged bathroom, point to a full interior rebuild; allow for a substantial programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • The roof and rainwater goods need inspection, and the stated boiler, heating system and services are untested.
  • Floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
