This freehold mid-terrace two-bedroom house is offered at auction with vacant possession and clear scope for refurbishment. At around 588 sq ft it’s compact but includes front and rear gardens and potential to extend into the loft or rear (subject to planning and consents). The property requires full modernisation throughout and is being sold as seen.
The location provides good transport links — Rainham and Dagenham Dock rail stations and the A13 are within reach — which supports lettings or resale after improvement. Local schools score well and nearby open spaces such as Beam Valley Country Park add local amenity value.
Important risk and cost points are clear: the area records high crime and wider social deprivation, the EPC is rated E, and the house will need renovation including likely insulation and modern services upgrades. The lot carries an auction contract documentation fee of £1,500 (inclusive of VAT) plus any seller-charged completion fees; buyers must satisfy themselves on price, title and condition before bidding.
Suitable for cash buyers, investors or DIY renovators seeking a value purchase in RM13, the property offers upside through refurbishment and permitted-development style extension, but buyers should allow for remedial works, planning uncertainty, and the competitive auction environment.
