A three-bedroom end town house offered for sale by auction with vacant possession and freehold title. The property totals about 732 sq ft, benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating, and includes small front and rear gardens. An estimated rental value after refurbishment is approximately £10,200 per year, making this a straightforward refurbishment-to-rent opportunity for investors.
The house dates from the early 20th century and is built of solid brick (assumed uninsulated). It requires a programme of modernisation: expect general decorating, updating of kitchen and bathroom, and potential insulation and energy-efficiency work to improve the current EPC D rating. Images and notes indicate boarded windows and an outdated exterior, so external repairs will also be needed.
Location is practical for transport links into Liverpool and is about one mile from Birkenhead town centre, with local amenities and several primary and secondary schools nearby (including an Outstanding primary). However, the surrounding area scores high on deprivation and crime statistics and is described as having challenged local aspiration—factors to weigh for long-term letting or resale values.
The property will be sold at public auction (guide price £60,000+; lot 69). Buyers should budget for immediate refurbishment costs and consider insulation and external works when assessing total investment. Vacant possession and a low council tax band A reduce initial holding costs before works begin.
