Property Oracle says ..
This six-bedroom property located on Roker Avenue in Sunderland presents a unique opportunity, but also significant challenges. Its primary advantage is its location; its close proximity to the seafront, local amenities, and the University of Sunderland makes it ideally suited for students or those seeking a seaside lifestyle. The relatively large interior size, with 1640 sq ft, is another key selling point, particularly if adapted for student rentals or a large family home. However, the images clearly depict a property that requires substantial renovation. There is evidence of damp patches on walls, incomplete cosmetic updates, and a generally dilapidated condition that would need to be addressed before occupancy is possible. The lack of garden is a further disadvantage. The list price needs careful consideration; while initially appearing reasonable in comparison to other properties in the area and given the room count, the required renovation work will add considerable cost. A prospective buyer will need to factor this significant expenditure into their budget, along with the lack of outdoor space. Overall, the property presents a solid investment opportunity for a buyer prepared to undertake extensive renovation works and who prioritizes location. Otherwise, it may prove to be an overvalued asset in its current state.
Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
