Summary - 49 GLAN ROAD, GADLYS, ABERDARE CF44 8BN
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Two-bed renovation project close to transport, schools and parks.
Victorian mid-terrace with period stone facade
A two-bedroom mid-terrace with Victorian stone frontage, offered at auction and presented as a clear renovation opportunity. The property sits in a sought-after part of Aberdare, close to public transport, schools and parks — convenient for tenants or resale. Built c.1900–1929, it retains period character externally but requires internal refurbishment throughout.
This sale is via Modern Auction and is a probate sale. There is an undisclosed reserve price and buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer pack fees; complete due diligence before bidding. The sale is freehold and completion is expected within the auction timescale (56 days if using the auction route for mortgage finance).
For investors this is a straightforward value-add project: mains gas boiler and radiators are present and double glazing is installed (unknown date), helping post-refurb running costs. The property’s small plot and average internal size (c.657 sq ft) limit extension potential but keep acquisition costs lower. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which affects rental levels and tenant demand — factor this into yield calculations.
Material points: the house needs renovation throughout (kitchen, bathroom, internal finishes) and external walls are likely uninsulated stone, so energy efficiency upgrades will be needed. Council tax band A and no flood risk reduce some running costs, but budget for structural, insulation and modern services checks before purchase.
