We are now in possession of a survey completed on the property. The survey highlights our suspicions that the property has a legacy settlement but no structural failure. However, since acquiring this survey, we have successfully renegotiated a further discount on the deal! We have a healthy renovation budget to transform this property and generate a substantial profit.
The cracks identified are merely fractures due to historic settlement. This house will be fully mortgageable after implementing the new wall tie solution and completing a small amount of stitching. The required works are well within the capabilities of our contractors, who provide guarantees to ensure the mortgageability of the property.
Investment Property Description
We have been monitoring this property for over a year and are excited to present a unique investment opportunity. The owners have recently reduced the price significantly, making it an attractive option for savvy investors. Although potential buyers have been deterred by visible cracks, we view this as an opportunity rather than a setback. As experienced property investors, we understand that the ability to purchase a property with issues and effectively address them can lead to substantial profits.
The cracks are not severe or alarming; however, we have accounted for a comprehensive renovation budget to address any necessary foundation stabilisation that might be required. A quick structural survey, priced at £475, will provide us with precise insights into the condition, ensuring that our renovation budget will adequately cover any recommended solutions.
Upon entering the property, you'll find a spacious hallway that leads to the first floor and opens into two inviting reception rooms. The living room is bright and generously sized, featuring a charming bay window and a fireplace, perfect for creating a warm atmosphere. The dining room offers a lovely view of the rear garden and provides access to the kitchen, which also connects to the outdoor space.
Upstairs, the property boasts two double bedrooms, offering ample space and comfort. The third bedroom is a large single room, ideal for various uses, whether as a guest room or a home office. The bathroom is a good size and features a wonderful view over Swansea Bay, adding a touch of luxury to daily routines. The main bedroom, with its own bay window, overlooks the bay and provides a side view down to Mumbles, creating a serene environment.
The manageable rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, providing a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation and leisure.
Located in Sketty, Swansea, this property is within walking distance of Swansea University, Gower College, Singleton Hospital, Swansea Botanical Gardens, and Singleton Park, making it an appealing option for families and professionals alike. Additionally, it is only a 10-minute drive to Swansea City Centre, ensuring easy access to a wide range of amenities and services.
