This third-floor two-bedroom flat offers a roomy 81m2 layout in a purpose-built 1930s–1940s block, sold at auction with immediate completion obligations. The property includes an open-plan living area, two bedrooms, one bathroom and a private garage — features that can appeal to buy-to-let investors or buyers seeking a refurb project with rental potential close to Keighley transport links.
Practical positives include a long lease (approximately 244 years remaining), an EPC grade C and proximity to Keighley station (about 0.4 miles). The block is insulated externally and the flat benefits from double glazing; broadband and mobile signal are adequate, and council tax is in Band A (very low).
Key risks and costs are clear: the flat is sold at auction so purchase is legally binding with immediate deposit and purchaser fees. Heating is by electric room heaters only (no central system), services and appliances have not been tested, and you should consult the legal pack for ground rent and service charge details. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with high local crime statistics, which will affect tenant demand and lettings strategy.
For investors this is a value-focused lot offering refurbishment and rental upside, but it requires active management and due diligence on service charges, communal condition and safety compliance before bidding. Buyers seeking a low-risk, move-in-ready home should note the purchase route and likely repair and running-cost implications.
