- Two-flats layout across three floors; one bed, one bath noted

- Auction buyer’s fee 3.6% (min £6,000 incl. VAT) payable extra
A rare low-entry auction opportunity in central Dover, offered freehold and chain-free. The former shop is partially stripped back and currently configured as two flats across three floors — the structural skeleton is in place but completion and fit-out are required. This is suitable for experienced investors or a developer comfortable with a renovation and refurbishment programme.
Location is a practical strength: a short walk to Dover Priory station, local shops, parks and coastal attractions. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk. The property’s Victorian frontage and terraced commercial setting give character and clear tenant appeal once refurbished.
Buyers should note key constraints: the property requires significant renovation to be habitable and rentable, the immediate area is very deprived with very high crime levels, and the plot is very small. The lot will be sold at online auction with an additional buyer’s fee of 3.6% (minimum £6,000 incl. VAT). Prior inspection of the legal pack and budget for works and fees are essential.
For investors the upside is clear — low guide price, coastal town footfall and nearby amenities can support rental demand after refurbishment. Factor in refurbishment costs, safety and compliance upgrades, and local area risks when calculating expected returns.
