This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Hide Road in Harrow presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges. Its location in a supposedly sought-after area, close to transport links (Harrow Metropolitan Line station) and well-regarded schools like Marlborough Primary and Whitefriars School (both ‘Outstanding’ according to Ofsted), is undeniably a strong selling point. The presence of a garden adds further value, providing outdoor space in a location where such is possibly scarce. However, the property’s condition represents a major downside. The provided photos reveal dated decor, needing considerable modernisation. The bathroom, in particular, exhibits signs of disrepair. A significant budget will be required for renovations throughout the house to bring it up to a modern standard. Therefore, potential buyers must weigh the positive aspects of the location and garden against the substantial renovation costs required. The absence of precise square footage information for nearby properties hampers a fully informed assessment of the list price’s reasonableness; however, given the necessary refurbishment, it’s prudent to approach the asking price cautiously. Prospective buyers should obtain independent surveys and detailed cost estimates for renovations before committing to a 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. *
