Sold at auction — 10% deposit and buyers’ fee apply

Communal parking to front and communal garden to rear

Council Tax Band A — very low running council tax costs
This top-floor one-bedroom apartment occupies the whole of Flat 3 at 36 Stoughton Road and is offered with vacant possession and a long lease (189 years from 1986). The layout provides a large double bedroom, a generous lounge/diner with a feature fireplace, a fitted kitchen and a bathroom. Communal parking and a rear communal garden add practical appeal in a well-connected, desirable city location close to local shops, restaurants, Victoria Park and the train station.
The property is being sold at auction and is particularly suited to investors looking for a low-entry purchase with refurbishment potential. The flat is currently presented in dated condition and will benefit from modernization works that could materially improve energy performance and rental or resale value. The Guide Price reflects the need for updating and the sale will be subject to auction terms, a deposit (minimum 10% / £5,000) and buyers’ fees.
Important negatives are factual: the EPC rating is G and the flat will require energy and fabric improvements; the listing references electric heaters while the property data also records mains gas and a boiler—prospective buyers should verify the actual heating system and services. Flood risk is medium and the property is leasehold; check the lease, ground rent and any service charge review periods in the legal pack. Bids must follow the auction registration and payment requirements.
