A two-bedroom semi-detached ex-council house offered freehold and sold via live stream auction — a clear opportunity for investors or hands-on buyers. The 808 sq ft layout includes lounge, kitchen/diner, cloakroom, two first-floor bedrooms and bathroom, plus front and rear gardens. The property dates from the 1930–1949 period, has double glazing and gas central heating, but requires updating throughout and improvement work to maximise value.
Location is convenient for Stafford town centre, local shops, schools and strong transport links including rail and the M6 — attractive for rental demand or resale. The area is a more deprived, ageing industrial workers profile with average crime statistics; nearby schools include Parkside Primary (Good) and Sir Graham Balfour High School (Good).
Important buyer considerations: the property will be sold at auction with an administration fee (£1,440 inc VAT) and buyer's premium (£1,140 inc VAT) payable on exchange. The seller is a registered social landlord and sales restrictions apply to employees, directors or close relatives of that landlord. Prospective purchasers must review the legal pack for special conditions, additional disbursements and service enquiries before bidding.
This is best suited to an investor or DIY buyer comfortable managing renovation, complying with auction conditions, and budgeting for fees and improvement costs. With sensible investment and refurbishment, the property offers a reasonably priced route into Stafford’s rental or resale market.
