Property Oracle says ..

This property at 18 Townsend, Soham presents a unique opportunity, but one that comes with considerable caveats. Located in Soham, Cambridgeshire, it benefits from proximity to schools like Soham Village College and The Shade Primary School, and is within reach of the transport links available in nearby Ely. However, the images clearly indicate the property is in a state of disrepair, requiring a full and extensive renovation. The internal photographs reveal significant damage to the structure, ceilings, and flooring, requiring a substantial financial investment to make it habitable. While some land is present, the exact size remains unclear. The list price of £60,000 is undeniably low for the area, but this must be weighed against the enormous cost of the necessary renovations. Potential buyers should seek professional advice about the true extent of the structural problems and factor these costs into their assessment before deciding to purchase. Therefore it is highly recommended that a full structural survey is undertaken before any purchase decision is made. Overall this property could be a good investment, however only those with both the financial and practical resources for a significant refurbishment should consider it.

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