A two-bedroom ground-floor flat offering a practical, affordable entry into Northampton’s NN3 postcode. The apartment has double glazing, gas central heating and a spacious lounge—ready to occupy but visibly in need of cosmetic updating. Its 657 sq ft layout will suit first-time buyers seeking value or investors after a low-entry rental purchase.
The property is being sold by modern auction. Buyers should note an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and additional buyer charges (including a pack fee up to £349). Completion is required within 56 days of sale; allow time for solicitors and mortgage checks and confirm lease length and service charges before bidding.
Practical positives include a chain-free sale, mains gas boiler with radiators, double glazing and a manageable ground-floor layout. Material considerations: the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, the area scores high on deprivation and has above-average crime statistics, and the flat will benefit from cosmetic modernisation and confirmation of lease terms and communal maintenance liabilities.
This flat is best for buyers who prioritise price and location over turnkey condition. First-time buyers and investors comfortable with auction purchase mechanics — and with a plan for refresh or tenancy — will find real potential here. Carry out full due diligence on the lease, service charges and any required repairs before committing to bid.
