This chain-free, freehold mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into HU5 with clear refurbishment upside. Priced to reflect its condition, the property requires cosmetic and fabric improvements but benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, and an EPC currently rated D with scope to improve.
The house is compact (approx. 603 sq ft) with two double bedrooms, a ground-floor bathroom and a small rear yard. Solid brick walls without assumed insulation mean installing wall or loft insulation could raise comfort and efficiency; the boiler and radiators run on mains gas. The plot and rooms are small, so renovations should focus on maximising layout and storage.
Important risks are factual: the area records very high crime and very high deprivation, and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone. These factors will affect lettability, insurance costs and resale timing. Council tax is low and the house is close to local amenities, transport links, the University of Hull and several good schools — features that support demand from renters and first-time buyers if safety and flood mitigation are addressed.
For an investor or renovator, the price reflects the work needed and the potential to add value through modernisation, insulation upgrades, and cosmetic refurbishment. For buyers prioritising safety, flood resilience, and a larger garden, this may not be suitable without additional investment.
