NO CHAIN - A two-bedroom mid-town house in a popular location close to Derby City offered for sale with no onward chain. The accommodation in brief comprises a hallway with stairs to the first floor, spacious lounge, kitchen/dining room, two first floor bedrooms and bathroom.
This two-bedroom terraced house located on Upper Boundary Road in Derby's Abbey area presents a mixed opportunity for prospective buyers. The property's key selling points include its location, offering relative proximity to well-regarded schools and Derby city centre, which is generally convenient for local amenities and transport. However, the property is currently in a poor state of repair. The internal photographs depict significant cosmetic damage to walls and flooring, outdated and potentially damaged kitchen and bathroom fittings, and an overall condition that requires extensive renovation works. The small rear garden is a minor positive, but the overall condition is the most significant factor to consider. The listing price of £115,000 appears generally reasonable within the context of similar properties in the area, but the need for renovations needs to be carefully weighed against this price. The buyer should budget a substantial sum for modernisation and repairs before the property becomes fully habitable. While the location is convenient for amenities and good schools, the extensive refurbishment needed makes this a property primarily suitable for buyers with renovation experience or the financial resources to manage a complete overhaul. The lack of specific square footage data for comparable properties, and for the property itself other than the stated 700 sqft, limits a fully detailed market comparison analysis.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclamer: This is our opition and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research.*
