A roomy one-bedroom ground-floor flat (approximately 684 sq ft) set in a Victorian terrace close to the city centre and train station. The apartment benefits from a modern kitchen/diner, a private courtyard garden, and double glazing fitted since 2002. Layout and size make it comfortable for single occupancy or a couple, and cosmetic updating could increase rental or resale value.
Buyers should note the property will be sold at auction via the Modern Method of Auction. Successful bidders pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.50% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349). Completion is required within the 56-day Reservation Period; prospective mortgage buyers should check affordability and lender requirements before bidding.
The flat has electric room heaters and the building’s granite walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs may be higher than average despite very cheap council tax. The area is classified as very deprived with a higher-than-average recorded crime level, which will affect desirability for some buyers. There is no flood risk recorded.
For a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with an auction purchase and modest updating, this is a practical, well-proportioned flat in a transport-rich location. Factor in reservation and auction costs, potential insulation and heating upgrades, and the local context when considering this purchase.
