Vacant two-bed flat above shop — refurbishment and rental upside for investors.
Vacant first-floor two-bedroom flat above terraced shopfront, vacant for immediate access
Guide price £120,000+ — sold by public auction with six-week completion available
Leasehold with approximately 119 years unexpired from 2019
Requires extensive renovation; upper floors/ground shopfront described as derelict
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; energy-efficiency upgrades probable

Shared garden; total internal area about 544 sq ft (small overall size)
Area classed as deprived—good transport links and several nearby ‘Good’ schools
Offered at auction with a low guide price, this vacant first-floor two-bedroom flat is a clear opportunity for an investor or hands-on buyer prepared to renovate. The flat sits above a ground-floor commercial/terraced frontage and forms part of an end-terrace building constructed circa 1930–1949. The lease has approximately 119 years remaining and six-week completion is available, allowing a quick turnaround if required.
The accommodation includes a reception room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC, with a shared garden to the rear. Double glazing is present (install date unknown) and heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; the EPC is rated D. The property is vacant, which simplifies access for works and potential re-letting or resale once upgraded.
Significant renovation is required: the upper floors and shopfront area are described as derelict and in need of extensive work, and there may be structural or cosmetic defects to address. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation, so energy-efficiency improvements are likely needed. The wider area is classified as deprived, but transport links (East Ham and Barking stations) and several nearby good primary and secondary schools give the location practical appeal.
This lot will suit a buyer who can manage a refurbishment project or an investor targeting added-value returns through refurbishment and reconfiguration. Be sure to review the legal pack and inspect the property and structural condition before bidding; costs for remedial works and compliance should be factored into any offer.
