A practical ground-floor two-double-bedroom maisonette in The Courtyard, offered at auction with no onward chain. The building, constructed around 2007, has been well maintained and this flat has a long rental history, making it immediately suitable for buy-to-let investors or cash-ready first-time buyers. The compact 614 sq ft layout is efficient, with an open-plan kitchen/living area and ample built-in storage.
Important auction and cost information is clear: sale via Modern Method of Auction with an undisclosed reserve, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and buyer administration fees. Buyers should allow time for due diligence and budget for these additional costs plus any leasehold packs or solicitor fees. The flat is leasehold with about 182 years remaining.
Location and living practicalities are straightforward: town-centre convenience, well-kept communal courtyard, excellent mobile signal and low council tax. Drawbacks include no private garden or dedicated parking, slow broadband in the area, and the neighbourhood statistics show high crime and high deprivation levels — factors that will affect tenant demand and rental value for some markets.
This property suits investors seeking a low-maintenance urban rental with immediate income potential, or buyers who prioritise central access and compact living over outside space. Prospective purchasers should inspect the Buyer Information Pack, verify service charges and carry out a full survey before bidding at auction.
