Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom terraced house in Luton, located on Shirley Road in the Dallow area, is currently listed for £185,000 and is being sold at auction. The property’s major drawback is its condition; it requires comprehensive modernisation throughout. The internal photos reveal peeling wallpaper, damaged flooring, and an overall appearance needing significant work. The kitchen and bathroom are also dated and require upgrading. The rear garden, while present, is significantly overgrown and in need of landscaping.
Positively, the property’s location is a moderately strong aspect. It’s near Dallow Primary School, which has a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating, and is within reasonable distance of Luton town centre and transport links. The proximity to schools and town amenities increases the property’s potential for future value once renovated. However, the current state of disrepair is a significant deterrent for potential buyers. The price point of £185,000 might be deemed reasonably priced for a property in this location if in good condition. However, given the need for major works, many buyers might find this price somewhat high unless they are property developers or serious DIY enthusiasts. Overall, the property presents an opportunity for a buyer willing to undertake a substantial renovation project.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
