This three-bedroom semi-detached house located on Crown Street, Morriston, Swansea, is marketed as an ideal first-time buyer or investment opportunity. Its location offers easy access to local amenities, schools, and transportation links to Swansea City Centre. The property boasts a generous-sized living/dining area, and the advantage of a low-maintenance enclosed rear garden, although the available pictures show a small and somewhat neglected garden.

However, the property’s condition presents a significant factor to consider. The photographs reveal dated interiors that are in need of modernisation. Carpets and furnishings are worn and require updating, and the kitchen features some areas in need of repair. The kitchen and bathroom appear dated. While the structure seems sound, prospective buyers should budget for a significant renovation to bring the property up to current standards.

The list price of £150,000 needs careful evaluation. The agent highlights the property’s size, location, and the presence of a garden as key selling points. Comparing it to similar nearby listings, though limited sqft data is available making a per sqft comparison challenging, suggests that the price may be on the higher end, especially considering the necessary refurbishment. Potential buyers should carefully assess the refurbishment costs and factor those into their overall budget. A full survey is recommended before committing to the 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. *
