Freehold three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house
Offered for sale by online unconditional auction with a guide price of £21,000, this three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house presents a low-entry purchase in central Cleethorpes/Grimsby. The property is vacant on completion, freehold, and benefits from uPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating and well-proportioned rooms across two storeys. For an investor it offers clear rental upside: similar homes achieve circa £750pcm, with potential higher yields if converted to an HMO (subject to planning).
The house requires some updating and basic repairs. Walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements will be needed to reduce running costs and improve comfort. Services, appliances and heating have not been tested and buyers should commission their own surveys; an EPC rating of D reflects scope for improvement.
Outside there is an enclosed rear garden and potential to create off-road parking to the front (subject to consents). The plot is small but manageable, and the property sits in an area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and convenient access to local amenities, schools and road links. Be aware of an administration fee of £3,600 (inc VAT) payable on exchange and other disbursements listed in the legal pack.
This is a practical project for a hands-on investor or an owner-occupier prepared to refurbish. The sale by auction means timelines are fixed; interested buyers should inspect the legal pack, arrange surveys and factor renovation and fees into their budget before bidding.
