Small rear garden; stepped up from road with foregarden

High local crime and very deprived area—affects lettings/resale risk
EPC rating D; solid brick walls assumed uninsulated
Auction purchase — unconditional exchange, admin fee and legal checks required
A four-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered vacant with freehold title — a straightforward auction purchase for an investor or hands-on buyer. The property retains period character: high ceilings, a bay window and solid brick construction, plus a small rear garden. Gas central heating and double glazing are present but the house requires full refurbishment throughout.
This lot suits a buyer prepared to invest in repair and upgrade work. The layout (two receptions, kitchen, shower room and four bedrooms over three floors) gives clear scope for improving value through cosmetic renovation or reconfiguration. Note that walls are likely uninsulated and the property will need modernisation to meet current standards and tenant expectations.
Buyers must expect auction conditions: unconditional exchange on the fall of the hammer, an administration fee, and responsibility for checking the legal pack. The area shows significant deprivation and high crime rates, which may affect rental returns and resale prospects; weigh location risks against low entry price and refurbishment upside.
Local amenities include several Good-rated primary and a secondary school nearby, reliable mobile signal and fast broadband — positives for letting. Budget realistically for refurbishment, potential insulation work, and any additional costs listed in the legal pack before bidding.
