Summary - 78 DERWENT STREET, HARTLEPOOL TS26 8BN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bedroom core buy-to-let with renovation potential near town and coast.
Low auction guide price of £10,000 — strong headline value for investors
This two-bedroom mid-terrace in Hartlepool is offered at a low auction guide price, presenting clear scope for renovation and rental uplift. The property is constructed of solid brick with double glazing and gas central heating; an investor or hands-on buyer can add value through modernisation and insulation. Note the EPC D rating and likely maintenance needs including possible damp and dated interiors — a survey is recommended.
The listing records a rental income of £410 pcm at the time of marketing; prospective purchasers must check the legal pack to confirm tenancy status and possession details before bidding. The house is compact (approximately 667 sq ft) with a small enclosed rear courtyard and conventional room layout: lounge, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Council Tax is Band A, which keeps running costs low.
Location is convenient for Hartlepool town centre, local amenities and the coast, but the immediate area falls within a very deprived, higher-crime classification and constrained-rental market — factors that affect tenant demand and exit strategy. The property will be sold at online auction; an administration fee of £3,600 (inc. VAT) is payable on exchange and other disbursements may apply.
This is a straightforward value-add opportunity for experienced investors or developers comfortable working in inner-urban, high-demand rental pockets. Carrying out detailed checks on services, structural condition, damp risk and the current tenancy is essential before purchase.
