A great opportunity to purchase this 4 bedroom 2 bathroom flat currently licensed as an HMO on the 1st and 2nd floors of this property above commercial premises in the heart of Walthamstow

Property Oracle says ..

This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom flat located on Forest Road in Walthamstow, E17 offers a potentially appealing investment opportunity, especially for those looking for a property in a well-connected area with good schools nearby. The property’s proximity to Blackhorse Road Underground station and several Overground stations ensures easy access to central London and other parts of the city. Additionally, several highly-rated schools are within walking distance, making it attractive to families.

However, the property’s condition requires some attention. The provided photographs reveal that the flat requires modernisation. The bathrooms appear somewhat dated and need refurbishment and cleaning. The overall décor also appears dated. While structurally the property seems sound, potential buyers must budget for renovations and redecoration. The complete lack of any outdoor space is also a significant drawback for many buyers.

The pricing of £525,000 requires careful consideration. While the location is positive, the need for renovations will likely lead to negotiations and a potential reduction in the final sale price. A thorough survey is advisable before purchasing to fully assess the extent of any required works. The price appears moderate considering the location but high given the condition and small footprint. More data is required on average price per sqft to get a more accurate assessment of the price. Comparative data is limited due to an absence of sqft details for the majority of similar nearby listings.

Therefore, we give this property 4 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
