This three-bedroom end-of-terrace in Bentley, Doncaster, is offered chain-free with vacant possession and will be sold at auction. The 82 sq m (approx. 883 sq ft) home dates from the 1930s–40s and requires full refurbishment, making it a clear project for investors or first-time buyers prepared to renovate.
Projected rental income is £900 pcm, giving an estimated ROI of 10.6%, which supports its appeal as a buy-to-let opportunity. The property has mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and solid brick walls; energy and insulation upgrades are likely needed to modernise the home and reduce running costs.
There are material considerations: the house is described as dilapidated/boarded in places, with an unkempt small garden and assumed absence of wall insulation. The area has high crime levels, very high deprivation indicators and a medium flood risk; prospective purchasers should factor refurbishment costs, mitigation measures and local market conditions into their plans.
Practical positives include a straightforward layout (approximately five rooms), nearby schools rated Good, local amenities and decent transport links to Doncaster town centre. A buyer’s premium applies (1% + VAT, subject to minimums and staged payments) payable as part of the auction terms — read the auction conditions before bidding.
