Vacant freehold — vacant possession on completion
Needs full modernisation and general repairs throughout

Located in a very deprived area with very high crime rates
Sold at public auction — unconditional exchange on fall of hammer
Additional auction administration fee and legal pack obligations
A three-bedroom semi-detached house offered vacant on completion and sold at public auction. The 1950s property (approx. 1,082 sqft) sits behind a foregarden on a decent plot and includes two interconnecting reception rooms, a kitchen, side passage, utility room, three first-floor bedrooms and a shower room/WC. The home has mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of D.
The property is in need of modernisation and repair — a clear refurbishment project for a buyer prepared to invest time and money. It presents practical potential for resale or rental once updated, due to its size, plot and three-bedroom layout. The area offers nearby schools rated Good and local amenities including a supermarket and bus links.
Important negatives are material: the neighbourhood is assessed as very deprived with very high crime rates, and the immediate area classification is hampered neighbourhoods. The sale is by auction with unconditional exchange on the fall of the hammer, an administration fee payable on completion, and purchasers must review the legal pack and special conditions before bidding.
This lot will suit an investor or experienced DIY developer who understands auction purchase terms and the local market risks. Viewings are scheduled in the week before the auction; properties are sold as seen, and all buyers should carry out their own surveys and enquiries.
