Summary - 13 SWINLEY GARDENS NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE NE15 7HX
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Auction opportunity for hands-on investors or cash buyers seeking value uplift.
Two-bedroom ground-floor flat, 576 sq ft, vacant and in poor condition
A ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offered for sale by online auction on 29/10/2025. The flat is vacant and requires a full scheme of refurbishment throughout — the kitchen and bathroom are dated with reported damp issues and there may be mould. The property is Leasehold and carries an EPC rating of F.
For an investor or an experienced DIY buyer this compact 576 sq ft apartment presents clear upside: structural fabric appears typical mid-20th century and there is a private rear garden that can be improved to add value or rental appeal. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are good, and local schools and amenities are within easy reach.
Buyers should factor in material costs and additional fees: the property will be sold at auction with a Buyer's Administration Fee of £2,400 (inc. VAT) payable on exchange, and completion is required 14 days from exchange. The area is described as very deprived with above-average crime rates, so consider rental demand, management and security costs when assessing this purchase.
This is a clear renovation opportunity at a low entry price for those prepared to invest time and capital. It is unsuitable for buyers seeking a move-in-ready home without immediate further expenditure.
