A vacant three-bedroom semi-detached house offered at public auction, presented for refurbishment and resale or rental. The property sits on a decent plot with front and rear gardens and retains gas central heating and double glazing, but requires modernisation throughout.
Structurally this post‑war, system‑built home has average room sizes and standard ceiling heights; walls are recorded as having no insulation (assumed) and internal finishes are dated with peeling paint and an unkempt garden. Energy Performance is C, however key upgrades (insulation, windows, kitchen and bathroom renewal) are likely to be needed to maximise value.
The lot suits cash buyers, developers or landlords comfortable with auction purchase terms: vacant freehold, 42‑day completion and an administration fee payable on exchange. The local area is classed as deprived with above‑average crime; nearby schools rated Good may help tenant demand but location factors should inform investment assumptions.
Viewings are scheduled in the two weeks before auction; purchasers should review the legal pack for any additional costs and allow for renovation budgets, safety checks, and possible modernisation of services before re-letting or resale.
