Low-price renovation opportunity near seafront and station, sold at online auction.
One-bedroom top-floor flat in central Hastings, short walk to beach and station
A compact one-bedroom top-floor flat in central Hastings, offered at auction with a low guide price reflecting its condition. The property sits within a converted Victorian building a short walk from the seafront and mainline station, making it convenient for tenants or short-term lets once refurbished. The flat is vacant and was damaged by a leak; a full scheme of refurbishment is required before occupation.
Key practical facts are straightforward: leasehold tenure, EPC rating G, and completion is expected 14 days from exchange. A Buyer's Administration Fee of £2,400 (inc. VAT) is payable on exchange. The lot is offered by online auction on 22/10/2025 — purchasers should allow time for pre-sale enquiries and factor the fee and rapid completion into funding plans.
This is a clear renovation opportunity for investors or an experienced DIY buyer. At the guide price it could deliver upside after repairs and redecoration, but buyers should budget for structural and damp remediation, modern services, and thermal upgrades to address the poor EPC. The neighbourhood is inner-urban with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but the area is marked by high crime rates and significant deprivation, which will affect rental values and resale prospects.
Viewings and a video tour are available on request; due diligence is essential. The property is best suited to a cash buyer or a purchaser prepared for quick completion, a scope of works and realistic costings before bidding.
