Summary - SCHOOL BUNGALOW, RIGTON DRIVE, LEEDS LS9 7PY
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Vacant site for refurbishment or redevelopment, auction sale with RAAC reported.
Freehold former school bungalow on ~388 sq m site
A vacant former school bungalow on a roughly 388 sq m freehold site, offered at public online auction. The single-storey property includes an entrance porch, L-shaped reception with fireplace, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and separate external storage. There is a lawned front garden, off-street driveway parking and a fenced paved yard, providing immediate site control and basic outdoor space.
This lot will suit investors or developers able to take on a short-term refurbishment or small redevelopment (subject to planning). The building offers scope to renovate, reconfigure or clear and redevelop given its semi-detached mid-20th century form and convenient city-edge location about 1.5 miles east of Leeds city centre, with good road and public-transport links.
Material negatives are stated up front: the roof is reported to contain Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC), the EPC is rated E and some external and garden areas are overgrown and require maintenance. The area is described as very deprived with above-average crime — factors that will affect tenant demand, resale values and lending terms.
Practical sale details: the property is sold at auction with vacant possession, requires a £5,000 pre-authorised bidding deposit, and the purchaser must contribute 3% of the purchase price (minimum £1,500) towards council surveyors and legal fees. Buyers should consult the legal pack and seek planning pre-application advice from Leeds City Council before bidding.
