This three-bedroom mid-terrace house at 27 Murray Road, Smithton, Inverness, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Located in the Smithton area, it offers a convenient position, relatively close to Inverness city centre. However, further information on nearby schools and local shops would enhance its appeal.

The property’s condition is a key factor to consider. While the structure seems sound, the interior requires significant modernisation. The dated décor and some visible wear and tear (in one bedroom) point to a need for refurbishment, impacting the overall value. The photos reveal carpets that could use replacing and wall surfaces that need attention. The kitchen and bathroom, whilst functional, are noticeably dated.

The inclusion of a small garden is a positive, providing some outdoor space, but its size is limited.

In terms of pricing, the £98,000 listing price appears reasonable considering the need for modernisation and the location. Compared to nearby streets, some properties are more expensive, but the data provided lacks crucial square footage comparisons, leading to a less precise valuation. The absence of square footage for the subject property itself further complicates a definitive price analysis.

Overall, this property presents an opportunity for a buyer looking for a project. Those with DIY skills or a budget for renovations could find this property appealing, provided they are comfortable with the necessary upgrades. However, those seeking a move-in ready home should look at other options.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
