A three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house in Reading, offered vacant and as a freehold, sold by online auction with a six-week completion. The property sits close to Reading town centre and Reading main station, making it convenient for commuters and attractive to buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental demand.
The house requires full modernisation: finishings are unfinished, some wiring is described as hazardous, walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, and there is a single bathroom. Heating is provided by a mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed though installation date is unknown. The small rear plot and above-average local crime rate are practical considerations.
For investors, an estimated rent of £1,400–£1,500 pcm is quoted, suggesting a gross yield around 8–8.6% depending on finish. For an owner-occupier, the property offers scope to create a comfortable family home after refurbishment. The auction format and refurbishment needs mean buyers should budget for works and confirm any necessary electrical or structural remedial costs before purchase.
