A first-floor, three-bedroom maisonette close to Gravesend town centre, offered chain-free and for sale by Modern Auction. The 790 sq ft property is a blank canvas needing full modernisation throughout; it presents clear uplift potential for an investor prepared to refurbish and reconfigure (possible HMO subject to consent).
Important legal and financial facts: the lease has approximately 48 years remaining, which is short and may prevent mortgage finance—buyers should get lease advice and check lender criteria. The sale is subject to an undisclosed reserve price and auction buyer’s fees apply, so allow for additional purchase costs.
Practical positives include a private garden, mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (fitted since 2002), and a compact layout that’s straightforward to convert or update. The location offers excellent broadband and mobile signal, easy walking distance to the town centre and station, and several well-regarded local schools close by.
Be candid about the downsides: the property requires full renovation, the area scores high for crime and deprivation, and the solid brick construction likely lacks wall insulation. These factors increase refurbishment costs and could affect rental demand and valuation in the short term. This is a high-opportunity, higher-risk buy for an investor or developer comfortable managing renovation, lease extension, and auction purchase mechanics.
