Leasehold auction flat near Swindon town centre — quick completion, suitable for first-time buyers or investors.
Upper-floor two-bedroom flat, approx. 663 sq ft
An upper-floor two-bedroom leasehold flat in a mid-20th-century block, positioned within easy reach of Swindon town-centre amenities and transport links. The apartment offers a practical layout across approximately 663 sq ft with a modern kitchen, double glazing (installed before 2002) and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
This property will be sold at auction under the Modern Method of Auction and may suit a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor wanting a quick completion. The lease has about 109 years remaining and the service charge is approximately £600 per year; council tax is very low and there is no flooding risk.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the building sits in an area of high deprivation with above-average crime rates, communal block maintenance may be basic, and the cavity walls appear to have been built without insulation (assumed). The double glazing is older and some updating or insulation work could be needed to improve energy performance.
Important auction terms: a Buyer Information Pack must be purchased and the winning bidder will sign a Reservation Agreement and pay a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600). Additional optional services may be offered with fees up to £450. Mortgage buyers should confirm finance eligibility before bidding.
