FLIP · Property AnalysisComprehensive evaluation for the 2-bedroom mid-terraced villa at Coupar Angus, Blairgowrie, PH13 9DX. Strategy: FLIP. Analysis Parameters: {"strategy":"FLIP","analysisParams":"Place holder"}
This property is a deceptively spacious, immaculately presented 2-bedroom mid-terraced villa featuring a wood-burning stove, modern kitchen, and enclosed garden. Because the property is already in very good condition, the refurbishment scope is minimal, focusing on garden debris clearance, light redecoration, and professional staging. With an entry price of £130,000 and an ARV of £165,000, this project generates a solid 8.0% ROI, making it a viable, low-capital short-term flip opportunity.
Predicting the correct After Repair Value (ARV) requires evaluating recent transactions and active comparative properties within the PH13 postcode and surrounding Blairgowrie market. Recent local sales for 2-bedroom properties include Church Place at £120,000, Hill Place at £135,000, and Dunarn Street at £134,000, while enhanced properties stretch towards £186,000 on Cambridge Street. Adopting a pragmatic 75th percentile valuation approach rather than chasing isolated peak records, we establish an ARV of £165,000. The property already benefits from a high-quality interior presentation, including a feature wood-burning stove in the lounge and a fully integrated dining kitchen. Value is added primarily through targeted exterior enhancements—specifically clearing construction rubble and garden waste visible near the rear outbuilding, refreshing the timber seating areas, and applying fresh neutral styling. This optimizes first impressions and positions the asset at the upper tier of local 2-bedroom terraced demand, ensuring rapid absorption by first-time buyers and downsizers upon resale.
Projected Return on Investment (ROI): 8.0%
The Perth and Kinross regional market demonstrates steady demand for well-maintained suburban homes. Properties priced around £130,000 experience strong liquidity, attracting buyers priced out of larger urban centers like Perth and Dundee.
The property is marketed at a fair entry price of £130,000, aligning closely with recent local comparables. While severe distress signals are absent, the realistic pricing indicates a vendor seeking a straightforward, reliable sale. This opens negotiation headroom if presented with a proceedable, chain-free cash or bridging position.
Rated 45/100, this project carries moderate risk. The primary exposure stems from narrow absolute margins typical of lower-priced flips. However, low capital outlay, minimal refurbishment required, and strong local demand for sub-£170k homes mitigate severe downside exposure.
The property features a ground-floor study/office (8'6" x 5'4").
Reasoning: The study is too small to legally and comfortably qualify as a double bedroom without major structural reconfiguration. It is far more valuable as a dedicated home office or utility space in the current market.
Note: Inspection of the exterior garden images reveals scattered rubble and construction debris around the rear outbuilding structure. This provides a tangible negotiating lever to reduce the purchase price.

The 2-bedroom mid-terraced villa in Coupar Angus presents a highly practical, low-risk, short-turnaround flip opportunity. With an attractive entry purchase price of £130,000, the capital requirement is exceptionally modest compared to higher-end detached properties. Because the interior is already presented to a good standard with modern kitchen and bathroom fixtures, capital expenditure can be tightly controlled and focused where it matters most: clearing exterior garden rubble and outbuilding debris, refreshing timber decking, and applying professional staging to maximize viewer appeal.
Our financial model accounts for all transaction costs including Scottish Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) inclusive of Additional Dwelling Supplement (ADS), legal fees, Home Report surveys, holding costs, and sales agent commissions. Total investment outlay stands at £152,775. Achieving our conservative ARV of £165,000 yields a gross profit of £12,225, translating directly to an 8.0% ROI.
Execution speed is a key advantage here; a 4-week refurbishment schedule minimizes holding expenses and market exposure. Investors should utilize the visible exterior rubble and outbuilding storage condition during negotiations to secure a slight price reduction below £130,000, thereby expanding profit margins further. Overall, this project is recommended for investors seeking reliable, moderate returns with restrained capital exposure.
Recommended for a fast-turnaround flip. Purchasing at £130,000 with an £8,000 pragmatic cosmetic and garden refurb delivers an ARV of £165,000 and an 8.0% ROI. Low capital entry and strong local demand make this a secure, manageable short-term project.
