A three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered vacant freehold — sold at public auction with a guide price of £39,000. The property has period character externally, a small foregarden and rear garden, gas central heating and double glazing. Layout: two reception rooms, kitchen, bathroom/WC on ground floor and three bedrooms to first floor. EPC rating D.
This is a clear refurbishment and income opportunity for an investor or experienced DIY buyer. The house is small (approximately 379 sq ft) and built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls that likely lack insulation. Expect general updating, possible electrical and cosmetic work, and typical maintenance for a property of this age.
Location offers practical advantages: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby schools rated Good, and regular bus and retail amenities. However, the immediate area is very deprived with very high crime levels — a material factor for owners, lettings and resale. Buyers should allow time for checks and factor in any additional security or management costs.
This lot is offered at auction on 10 December 2025. Successful bidders will exchange unconditionally on the fall of the gavel and pay an administration fee plus any costs detailed in the legal pack. The property is sold vacant; viewings are scheduled on set dates. Read the legal pack and budget for refurbishment, energy improvements and any special conditions before bidding.
