Summary - HALLAM METHODIST CHURCH, HALLAM STREET B71 4HG
1 bed 1 bath Place of Worship
Large Victorian building with redevelopment potential near Sandwell Health campus.
Freehold former Methodist church on approx. 0.25 acre site
A rare, large Victorian former Methodist church on a 0.25 acre site offering substantial redevelopment potential. The Gothic Revival façade, high vaulted ceilings and 4,633 sq ft of internal space create strong scope for conversion to community, residential or commercial uses, subject to planning consent from Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council. The property includes ancillary rooms, two kitchens, toilets and a basement boiler room.
This is a freehold lot offered at public auction with a guide price of £295,000 and an administration fee payable on completion; purchasers will exchange on the fall of the gavel. Interested buyers must review the legal pack, make their own enquiries about services, rights and VAT, and confirm planning feasibility before bidding.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the building dates from circa 1883 and will require significant refurbishment, potential structural and services upgrades, and planning permission for alternative uses. The area has high crime levels and is in a very deprived neighbourhood; immediate vicinity includes Sandwell Health campus and mixed residential streets. Energy Performance is exempt for Places of Worship.
Suitable for developers, investors or community groups prepared to budget for refurbishment and statutory consents, the lot offers a prominent corner site with character features and excellent transport links to Birmingham and the M5. Viewings are scheduled in late November and early December ahead of the auction on 10 December 2025.
