3 bedroom terraced house

Regent Street, Castleford, WF10 for £130,000. Marketed by Simon Blyth, Barnsley

💡 Why We Like It 💡 Properties are selling quickly in this area at c.£150k currently, at mid-specs. There’s no value to be had at the price for a flip (if <£120k, maybe), but a steady 2-year live-in project here could be the move to get a good return out of the rising house prices in the area 👉️ 

WF10 terrace sold prices

3 bedroom terraced house

Wellington Street, Shotton, Deeside, Flintshire, CH5 1AH, CH5 for £125,000. Marketed by Keystone Property and Mortgage Centre, Connah's Quay

💡 Why We Like It 💡 From the photos it actually looks like it’s in good condition. Properties like this are moving in the area currently, with a comparable listing at £150k selling pretty quickly late last year.

2 bedroom terraced house

Grove Street, Newark, Notts, NG24 for £130,000. Marketed by Whitegates, Newark

💡 Why We Like It 💡 The bathroom is where the real value is to be gained so you can focus the main budget on that, plus cosmetics and the massive garden offering lots of opportunity to increase appeal. The kitchen in good nick (new cooker needed) so that’s a rare load off your mind. Few signs of damp in the kitchen and living areas will need a closer look.

3 bedroom terraced house

Highfield Lane, Worksop, S80 for £120,000. Marketed by William H. Brown, Worksop

💡 Why We Like It 💡 Priced at £120k, the agent has correctly listed this at the bottom of the market given its condition. The chart on the right showing the ranges of asking prices for 3-beds in surrounding postcodes.

You’ll still want to be negotiating a fair chunk off the asking, but keep reno costs down and you could find some margin.

3 bedroom end of terrace house

Regent Street, Ferndale, CF43 for £70,000. Marketed by Peter Alan, Pontypridd

💡 Why We Like It 💡 The fact that the agent is hoping you don’t notice that the kitchen roof has FALLEN IN. You wanted a project, yeh? 😆
