Summary - 48, Rathmell Street, BRADFORD BD5 9QJ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bedroom terrace near shops with low guide price and renovation scope.
Auction guide price £70,000; no onward chain
Offered at an auction guide price of £70,000 with no onward chain, this two-bedroom mid-terrace presents clear upside for a hands-on investor. The property is freehold, sits on a decent plot with a manageable rear garden and benefits from good commuter links and fast broadband—practical assets for rental or resale after improvement.
Internally the accommodation is compact and dated: a front reception room with fireplace, separate fitted kitchen and a shower room. Fixtures and finishes indicate a full programme of modernisation is required throughout, presenting scope to add value but also requiring budget for works.
Be candid about the location: the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels and large social-renting families nearby. These factors affect tenant mix, resale timing and rental yields and should inform repair budgets and lettability plans. Auction sale means fees apply and buyers need to allow for purchase-timescales and conditional terms.
For a buyer experienced in budget refurbishments or portfolio expansion, the combination of low entry price, no chain and decent plot offers an opportunity to create rental income or a value-added sale once updated. For less experienced buyers, the property’s condition, local social factors and auction process represent significant challenges.
