Property Oracle says ..
This three-bedroom detached house located on Barbara Avenue in Leicester is presented as a property requiring significant modernisation and improvement. The property benefits from a good location near highly-rated schools and is within a reasonable distance to Leicester. The exterior shows a brick-built structure that looks structurally sound, but in need of landscaping and the back garden requires significant attention. The interior, as shown in the photos, features dated kitchen cabinets and flooring, and the overall aesthetic suggests a need for comprehensive updating. A significant portion of the asking price will need to be allocated for renovations. The presence of a garden is a plus point but its current state is far from ideal. The lack of plot size information makes it difficult to give a thorough assessment of the garden’s actual size, however, based on the photos it appears to be medium sized and may offer scope for extension (subject to planning permission). Buyers should factor in the extensive renovation costs when considering the property. Overall, this property presents an opportunity for someone looking for a project and who values the location near good schools. The pricing seems realistic, in view of the required improvements, though negotiation might be possible, especially given the lack of precise square footage. Further information relating to the condition of the property would improve the final decision in the purchase of this property.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
