Great long term Investment, traditional house now converted into 2 separate flats, popular bury park area, great rental Yield
Property Oracle says ..
This property on Francis Street in Luton presents a mixed picture for potential buyers. It’s a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house in the Biscot area, which benefits from relatively convenient access to transport links (Luton train station and Luton Airport Parkway) and several schools (Bury Park Educational Institute, Olive Tree Primary School, Dallow Primary School being notable examples). However, the property is clearly in need of extensive renovation. The images reveal significant cosmetic issues, such as damaged walls and outdated fittings. The small, overgrown rear garden offers some outdoor space but would require significant landscaping to be attractive and usable. The listing mentions the property being converted into two flats, suggesting potential rental income, but this needs thorough investigation to assess viability and regulations. While the price of £247,500 might seem competitive compared to some nearby properties, the significant renovation costs should be factored into any purchase decision. The lack of square footage data prevents a precise analysis of the price per square foot, making a comprehensive value assessment challenging. Overall, this property is suited to a buyer willing to undertake a substantial renovation project or someone looking for a buy-to-let opportunity but aware of the necessary investment and potential regulatory aspects of having a converted property. Further research is recommended into the regulatory compliance of the conversion and thorough surveys are crucial before committing to the purchase.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
