Offered for sale by modern auction, this three-bedroom end-of-terrace in WS2 presents a clear investment opportunity. The property is freehold and sold with no upward chain, arranged over two storeys with two reception rooms, a rear garden with side access and an average-sized footprint of about 816 sq ft. Its location is convenient for Walsall town centre and local transport links.
The house requires substantial refurbishment: internal photos and the listing note damaged ceilings, exposed plaster, stripped kitchen fittings and general damp/repair works. Buyers should budget for redecoration, new kitchen and bathroom installations, and surveys to confirm any structural, electrical or damp remedial costs. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation.
This sale uses the Modern Method of Auction. An undisclosed reserve price applies and buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus additional auction administration costs. Completion is expected within 56 days and purchasers must complete their own due diligence, funding checks and review the Buyer Information Pack before bidding.
Useful for a hands-on investor or a buyer willing to carry out major works, the property offers potential to increase value after refurbishment. Note local factors such as high crime and very deprived area classification; these will affect rental demand and resale pricing. A full survey, costed refurbishment plan and confirmation of auction terms are essential before committing.
