Three double bedroom family home in need of updating with potential to extend, subject to planning permission
Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom terraced house in Reading, Berkshire, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Its location in a relatively desirable area near schools and transport links is a major plus. However, the property is in clear need of significant renovation. The photos reveal issues with water damage, plasterwork, and outdated fixtures and fittings. The kitchen and bathrooms appear particularly dated and would require complete overhaul. While the property offers three bedrooms, the interior shots suggest that it might need structural work, particularly the ceilings. The size of the garden is also unclear, though it appears small to medium-sized from aerial photography. The listed price of £350,000 is reasonable, relative to other properties in the area, although potential buyers should carefully factor in the considerable cost of renovations and potential delays caused by obtaining necessary planning permission. Buyers should conduct a thorough structural survey before making an offer to ensure they understand the full extent of the work required and the associated costs. The property would be a good investment for someone looking for a project, providing a higher potential yield after significant investment. However it’s not a move-in-ready option.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
