Presented at a low auction start price, this late-Victorian end-of-terrace offers a clear investor proposition in Hartlepool. The house provides two main bedrooms plus a loft room, a refitted eat-in kitchen and a refitted white bathroom suite — useful income-ready elements alongside spaces for improvement.
At about 905 sq ft on a very small plot, the property is compact but generously proportioned for its type. Features include solid brick walls with external insulation, double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators, and a private yard. Freehold tenure and very low council tax keep running costs down.
Buyers should weigh the positives against material considerations. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime and a transitional, constrained-renter local market; rental demand may be strong but tenancy churn and management needs can be higher. The sale is by auction with a starting bid of £36,000 plus a reservation fee — suited to cash buyers or those prepared for quick completion.
This property will suit a hands-on investor or portfolio builder seeking a low-entry purchase with scope to upgrade for rental yield or resale. While some fixtures have been renewed, additional refurbishment and modernisation may improve returns; inspect closely for finish and maintenance issues before bidding.
