This property at 20, 22, 24, 30, 32, and 34 Clarence Place, Newport is a substantial multi-unit building described as comprising commercial space, an A3 unit, office space, and 34 studio and one-bedroom apartments. The property is being offered for sale by formal tender.

The location in Clarence Place, Newport is advantageous due to its proximity to the city centre and its relatively easy access to amenities, including shops, schools, and the railway station. The presence of nearby schools is positive and further increases the attractiveness of the location for potential investors.

However, the visual inspection of the provided photographs reveals that the property is in significant disrepair. The interior requires substantial refurbishment. Damage is visible in multiple areas; including walls, ceilings and flooring. This necessitates substantial investment before the property can be occupied. The lack of significant outdoor space is also a factor to consider.

The list price of £750,000 appears to be challenging considering the state of disrepair. A comprehensive survey and detailed costings of renovation would be essential before any purchase. The value of the property lies in its potential, but the risk involved in buying it ‘as is’ is significantly high. The absence of data regarding price per square foot for comparable properties in the area hinders a more precise assessment of value. However, the potential rental income from multiple units should be factored in when analyzing the overall value. Therefore, potential investors should undertake detailed due diligence to assess the feasibility and profitability of this project before making any commitment.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
