- Leasehold; will be sold at online auction

A compact, characterful Victorian mid-terrace arranged over four floors, offered at auction with strong rental potential. The house includes a cellar room, ground-floor conservatory and open-plan kitchen/living area, plus a main bedroom, bathroom and an additional loft room — useful for storage or a small home office. Double glazing has been fitted post-2002 and the property currently has an EPC rating of D. There is a low-maintenance rear garden and no recorded flood risk.
This is a leasehold lot sold via online auction on unconditional terms with completion strictly within 28 days. Note the buyer pays a £5,000 (inc VAT) premium on top of the sale price; the reserve is higher than the published start price of £70,000 and is unpublished. Searches have been ordered and will be available before bidding.
Important practical points: heating is provided by room heaters and dual fuel (mineral and wood), and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated — additional insulation and a heating upgrade would improve comfort and running costs. The property sits in a deprived, blue-collar terrace area with average crime levels and is close to bus routes and local amenities, making it suitable for lettings to local workers or students.
Overall, this property suits an investor or buyer prepared to carry out modest upgrades to extract rental income or add value. Key positives are the unusual four-floor layout, cellar and loft room; key drawbacks are leasehold status, the buyer’s premium, basic heating and likely insulation work required.
