Auction-ready two-unit investment with refurbishment upside near city transport.
Freehold pair of flats: 2-bed ground, 3-bed first, both vacant
A mid-terrace Victorian pair of freehold flats offered with vacant possession and immediate redevelopment potential. The ground-floor unit is a two-bedroom flat; the first-floor is a three-bedroom flat. Both have one reception room, basic kitchens, and bathrooms; double glazing is installed throughout.
The properties are sold at auction with a guide price of £155,000; bidders should allow for the buyer’s auction administration fee (£2,400 incl. VAT) and a possible reserve price up to 10% above the guide. The flats have EPC rating D and Council Tax Band A for each unit, so running costs are comparatively low but energy performance may benefit from improvement works.
Condition is basic and will suit a buyer planning refurbishment or an investor seeking rental income after works. Kitchens are dated (1970s–1980s style) and internal finishes will require updating; the building is solid brick with assumed no insulation in the walls, so fabric and heating upgrades could improve comfort and EPC. A mining search is recommended due to local mining heritage.
Location offers practical access: close to frequent public transport into Newcastle city centre, the MetroCentre and good road links (A1/A69). Local amenities and several primary and secondary schools are nearby. Note the area records higher crime levels and sits within a very deprived ward, which should be considered when assessing rental demand and pricing.
