Ready-to-personalise two-bedroom apartment with private garden, offered by the Modern Method of Auction. The flat is neutrally decorated throughout and presented as a blank canvas, so it will suit a first-time buyer who wants a move-in-able home with straightforward cosmetic potential. The fitted bathroom is modern; the overall layout is traditional and practical across an average-sized 679 sq ft footprint.
Practical running costs are a selling point: low Council Tax (Band A) and mains gas central heating. Connectivity is strong with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and there is outside storage in a separate shed plus private outdoor entertaining space. Local schools nearby include several rated Good, which is helpful for families starting out.
Important auction and lease details: the sale is via the Modern Method of Auction and requires completion within a 56-day Reservation Period. A Buyer Information Pack is available for a fee, and the buyer pays a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600), plus a pack fee of £349. These costs are payable in addition to the purchase price and should be factored into affordability calculations. The property is leasehold with 93 years remaining.
Location notes and risks: the flat sits in an outer-city area with higher-than-average crime and pronounced local deprivation indicators. The building dates from the 1950s–60s; walls are cavity-built with assumed no added insulation, which could mean future thermal upgrade work. Energy performance is D. Buyers should inspect services, heating, and electrics closely and consider lender guidance before bidding.
