Long-lease two-bed flat with garage — sold at auction, requires renovation..
Two-bedroom second-floor flat with separate garage nearby
A two-bedroom second-floor flat offered at auction with long lease term and immediate vacant possession. The apartment sits in a mid‑20th century development close to local shops, parks, sports facilities and commuter routes, and includes a separate garage and communal parking. Heating is provided by gas warm air and the windows are double glazed; the EPC rating is D.
The interior requires updating throughout — fixtures and finishes are dated and the living room lighting and kitchen will need modernisation. Service charge is approximately £1,471.42 per year and the property is sold leasehold (around 288 years remaining). Prospective buyers should note an above-average local crime rate and that the sale will proceed via auction with associated buyer fees and a non‑refundable deposit.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or buyer comfortable with renovation work: the long lease, garage and no upward chain reduce some purchase friction, while the guide price reflects the need for improvement. Viewings and a full legal pack review are advised prior to bidding so buyers can confirm service charge details, tenure and any special conditions.
