Summary - 2 CAISTOR GARTH, ROWANTREE DRIVE, BRADFORD BD10 8ER
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Low-cost, ready-to-let flat ideal for investors or hands-on buyers.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, recently redecorated and modern kitchen fitted
Long lease (125 years from 1993) — 93 years remain noted elsewhere; check legal pack
Allocated off-street parking space and communal garden areas
UPVC double glazing; electric storage heating; EPC rating C
Service charge £1,319.64 pa; ground rent currently £0 — verify in legal pack
Located in a very deprived area with high local crime — assess rental demand
System-built construction with assumed no wall insulation — potential retrofit costs
Sold at auction; buyer pays contract documentation fee and possible seller charges
A ground-floor one-bedroom flat offered at auction with immediate vacant possession and recently refurbished interiors. The property has a modern fitted kitchen, UPVC double glazing and new flooring following a past fire, so it is ready to move into or re-let with minimal delay. Electric storage heating and an EPC rating of C help contain running costs for an all-electric flat.
Situated in a low-rise purpose-built block with an allocated parking space and communal garden, the flat sits in a largely residential area with good public transport links to Bradford city centre and the A658 for wider travel. The long lease (125 years from 1993) provides secure tenure, and the current service charge is detailed in the listing.
Important considerations: the neighbourhood records high crime and very high area deprivation, and the block was constructed using system-built methods with assumed lack of wall insulation. The property will be sold at auction and buyers must allow for an auction contract documentation fee and possible additional seller charges — check the legal pack for all costs and lease terms before bidding.
This is a straightforward, low-maintenance unit suitable for a buy-to-let investor seeking an entry-price purchase or a first-time buyer prepared to buy at auction. Verify service charge, confirm heating and electrics, and factor in local market conditions and any post-auction fees when assessing value.
