A freehold, Victorian semi-detached building arranged as four self-contained flats, located a short walk from Southport promenade and the town centre. Two flats already let (Flat 2 at £500pcm; Flat 3 at £600pcm), providing immediate rental income while the remaining units offer refurbishment upside.
The property requires significant work: the roof is reported to be in poor repair and the building needs renovation throughout. EPC ratings are low (F/E/D/E across flats) and the area scores high for crime and deprivation, which will affect tenant mix and yields. Please review the legal pack for auction fees, administration charges and disbursements before bidding.
This lot is suited to experienced investors or developers comfortable buying at auction and managing refurbishment. The freehold, decent plot size and proximity to the promenade and transport links to Liverpool, Ormskirk and Preston create clear repositioning potential once repairs and upgrades are completed.
Buyers must be auction-ready: the sale is legally binding on exchange, with immediate deposit, buyer’s premium and administration fees payable. Inspect the property and legal documents carefully, and allow budget for roof works, general refurbishment and energy-efficiency improvements.
