A detached freehold building in Leigh-on-Sea offered as a ground-rent investment at auction. The property contains four self-contained flats (each sold on long leases from 24 June 1967 for 199 years) and includes garages and a shared garden. This is a freehold sale only: the flats themselves are not included and have not been inspected.
This lot suits investors seeking a freehold interest in a residential block rather than a vacant possession. Income and responsibilities depend on the existing long leases and any ground rent or management provisions in those leases — buyers should note the building may still carry landlord obligations even though flats are let on long leases.
Important practical points: the vendor’s legal pack should be reviewed carefully (leases, ground rent details, service obligations and any planned works). The property will be sold at public auction on 9th October 2025; bidding available online, by telephone, proxy and live stream. The building description is 1970s two-storey brick construction with standard ceiling heights and small-to-medium room sizes.
Known positives include a large plot, garages, off-street parking and a location in a very affluent, well-served area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Known constraints: the flats were not inspected, the sale is of the freehold interest only, and potential maintenance or refurbishment liabilities may fall to the freeholder under the lease terms.
