Property Oracle says ..
This 3-bedroom semi-detached house on Laburnum Road, Swindon, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Its location in Gorse Hill and Pinehurst offers relative affordability and proximity to schools and transport links, making it potentially appealing to families or first-time buyers on a budget. However, the property is clearly in need of significant modernisation and renovation. The photographs reveal dated fixtures, fittings, and cosmetic issues in several rooms, requiring considerable investment to bring the property up to a modern standard. The bathroom, in particular, appears to require a full refurbishment. The garden, while present, requires further details on size and condition for a proper assessment. The asking price of £200,000 appears marginally high given the extensive renovation needed but, considering comparative prices in the Laburnum Road vicinity, it is not unreasonable. Potential buyers should budget carefully for refurbishment costs and thoroughly investigate the property’s structural integrity before committing to purchase.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
