Summary - 81 ALBANY STREET ILKESTON DE7 5AD
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable auction lot — tenant in situ, small garden, good rental potential.
Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, c.700 sq ft
A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace offered for sale by modern auction — presented as a straightforward investment or renovation project. The property is currently let (tenant in situ) and comes with a working combi boiler, double glazing and a small rear garden. At around 700 sq ft, the house suits buy-to-let investors or first-time renovators seeking an affordable entry in Ilkeston.
The location offers practical connectivity — near a regular bus route, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — and several ‘Good’ rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach. The house is mid-terrace solid-brick construction (c.1900–1929) with standard ceiling heights and modest room sizes, reflecting its period origins.
Buyers should note important drawbacks: the property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime rates and small plot size. Walls are assumed solid brick with no cavity insulation; some updating or insulation work may be needed to improve energy efficiency. It will be sold at auction under the modern method — subject to reserve, buyer’s fees apply — and is offered with a tenant in situ, so vacant possession is not guaranteed.
Overall this is a low-cost entry property with clear scope for rental income or staged refurbishment. Investors will value the tenant in place and low council tax banding; renovators should allow budget for thermal upgrades and interior modernisation.
