A three-bedroom first-floor flat on Norham Road, offered via modern auction with a low starting bid. The layout is traditional with a medium-sized lounge, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a single bathroom — practical for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let landlord seeking immediate rental potential. Gas central heating and double glazing are already installed.
The property sits in a very deprived neighbourhood with above-average local crime rates; the surrounding area is classed as ‘hampered aspiration’. The building is a solid-brick Victorian end-terrace (c.1900–1929) likely lacking cavity wall insulation. Expect refurbishment and energy-improvement work if higher standards or long-term savings on fuel bills are required.
Important sale terms: the flat is leasehold and will be sold at auction by the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers must pay a reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000 including VAT) plus other auction costs, and complete within 56 days of contract. Confirm lease length, ground rent and service charges with a solicitor before bidding.
Practical positives include cheap council tax (Band A), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and good road links with easy A19 access. The compact total size and three bedrooms make this suitable for first-time buyers on a tight budget or investors prepared to do light refurbishment and tenant-matching. Carry out your own diligence — the buyer information pack may not disclose everything.
