A vacant, chain-free ground-floor flat in Marshall Wallis Road offered at auction — ideal for buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental income. The layout includes two bedrooms, a lounge, modern kitchen and a bathroom, plus a low-maintenance rear yard. The property has been described as recently rewired with hardwired smoke alarms, though buyers should obtain documentary confirmation.
Positioned close to Chichester Metro Station and local shops on Dean Road, the flat benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband potential. Compact room sizes and period mid-terrace character make it straightforward to let to commuters or local renters; council tax band A keeps operating costs low. EPC grade D and mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators are already in place.
There are material location and condition considerations to note. The area is classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime rates — factors that will affect tenant demand, rental values and management needs. The building has solid brick walls likely with no retrofit insulation, so energy efficiency and long-term maintenance should be factored into projected returns.
This property will be sold by online auction with a guide price and undisclosed reserve; the buyer must pay an administration fee (approx. £2,400 inc. VAT) and complete standard auction requirements. Suitable for investors prepared to buy at auction, verify the rewiring paperwork, and manage lettings in a higher-risk urban area.
