Three-bed Victorian fixer—vacant freehold at auction, suited to investors or experienced refurbishers..
Freehold vacant end-terrace with foregarden and rear garden
A vacant freehold Victorian end-terrace with three bedrooms and a small rear garden, offered for sale by public auction. The property sits on Bordesley Green Road (B9) and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, but requires full modernisation throughout. With 911 sq ft and a compact plot, it suits investors or experienced refurbishers targeting rental or resale in an area of strong rental demand.
Sale at auction means unconditional exchange on the fall of the hammer; buyers must review the legal pack and allow for the administration fee of £2,340 (inc VAT) and any additional special-conditions costs. The property is vacant on completion, which simplifies access for works, but viewings are limited to scheduled dates and all purchasers should inspect in person and carry out appropriate surveys.
Practical positives include three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a foregarden and rear garden, plus good mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for tenants or short-term lets. Material drawbacks are clear: the house needs renovation, walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, glazing is pre-2002 double glazing, there is one bathroom, and the area is classified as very deprived. These factors affect mortgageability and may limit owner-occupier appeal without budgeted works.
For investors who can manage refurbishment, this property offers typical Victorian room proportions and refurbishment potential to improve EPC and rental value. Budget realistically for structural, insulation and modernisation works, and check the legal pack for tenure, any additional costs and the reserve price before bidding.
