Town-centre location with good mobile signal and fast broadband
Requires full renovation; house currently uninhabited and derelict

A three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in central Middlesbrough offered as a freehold fixer-upper. The property has two reception rooms, a breakfast kitchen and a small rear yard — a straightforward layout that will suit buyers who want to renovate or convert for rental income.
Key advantages include town-centre location, bay-window character, and mains gas heating with double glazing already fitted (install date unknown). Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and several good-rated primary and secondary schools lie within easy reach. At the listed price of £150,000 this is priced for buyers prepared to carry out works.
Important drawbacks are clear: the house is uninhabited and described as derelict/needs renovation throughout, with dated kitchen and general wear. The solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, and the property sits in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime. Flooding risk is medium; buyers should obtain specialist surveys and insurance quotes.
This will appeal to experienced landlords, renovators or developers who can budget for refurbishment, insulation, possible electrical/structure upgrades and ongoing management in a challenging neighbourhood. For those seeking a low-risk family home or a move-in-ready property, this requires substantial work and realistic cost planning.
