A central Dovercourt maisonette offered at a low entry price, this two-bedroom home sits above High Street shops and benefits from allocated off-street parking and easy access to the seafront. The layout provides a spacious lounge, separate kitchen and two bedrooms across two levels, with double glazing and gas central heating in place.
This property is sold via Modern Auction. Bidders must pay a non-refundable reservation fee and complete within a strict timeframe. Importantly, the flat is leasehold with approximately 63 years remaining — many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on short leases, so buyers should check finance options before bidding.
The location is convenient for daily amenities and Dovercourt railway links to Colchester and London. The building shows signs of general maintenance need and the setting is in a high-crime, very deprived area; buyers should allow for refurbishment costs and factor community context into their plans.
Suitable for a cash buyer, experienced auction purchaser or someone prepared to renovate, this maisonette offers coastal proximity and parking at an entry price, but carries material risks around the lease length, auction fees and local area profile. Conduct full due diligence, review the lease pack and confirm lending viability prior to bidding.
