A characterful mid-terrace on Severn Street offering three bedrooms across two storeys with generous reception rooms and period features. Located close to Holderness Road and Hull city centre, the house is chain-free and sold freehold via Modern Auction with a low start price — attractive for cash buyers, first-time purchasers and investors prepared to act quickly.
The property requires modernisation throughout: expect cosmetic upgrading, potential improvements to insulation (walls likely uninsulated) and general refurbishment to bring the kitchen and bathroom up to modern standards. It benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, but buyers should commission a full survey, particularly given the property’s age (c.1930–1949) and solid brick construction.
Important sale details: this is a Modern Method of Auction listing with an undisclosed reserve price, buyer’s fees, and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600). Completion is typically required within 56 days; bidders must complete ID and funding checks and review the Buyer Information Pack before bidding.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, low council tax, close local amenities, and proximity to several well-rated schools. Material drawbacks to consider are the area’s high crime and very deprived socio-economic profile, medium flood risk, small plot size and limited external space, and likely need for insulation and modernisation works.
