Affordable project near station ideal for first-time buyers or landlords.
Sold freehold at £190,000
A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace in Fratton offered at £190,000, suited to buyers seeking a hands-on first home or buy-to-let opportunity. The house benefits from a long knocked-through lounge/diner, a west-facing low-maintenance garden and very good connectivity — shops and the train station are within walking distance.
The property requires full modernisation: visible plaster damage, unfinished floors and dated fittings throughout. Services and internal finishes will need updating, so buyers should budget for refurbishment costs and allow for scope to improve energy and aesthetic performance.
For a first-time buyer this is an affordable entry into a well-connected Portsmouth neighbourhood with good local schools nearby and fast broadband. For investors, the layout and location offer straightforward rental potential after renovation. Note the area records above-average crime and the plot is small with limited parking, which may affect resale premium compared with larger suburban homes.
