Summary - 8, DAWSON STREET WS3 1LN
5 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Auction opportunity for experienced renovators seeking strong uplift potential.
Five bedrooms across three storeys, approx. 1,598 sq ft
A substantial five-bedroom semi-detached property offered as a vacant freehold at public auction. The house sits on a large plot with a driveway and garden, double-glazed windows and mains gas central heating already installed — fundamentals that reduce immediate spend. The size (approximately 1,598 sq ft) and three-storey layout give flexible options for refurbishment, multi-room rental or family occupation once renovated.
The property is sold with a guide price of £85,000 at auction; purchasers should note unconditional exchange on the fall of the hammer and an administration fee payable on completion. The building requires full refurbishment — the kitchen has no fittings and the accommodation is described as in need of renovation. Energy performance is poor (EPC F) and the house appears neglected externally.
Material risks: the property is in a very deprived, high-crime area and viewings are by block appointment; buyers should plan thorough due diligence, review the legal pack and budget for repair, redecoration, and possible remedial works. Positive value drivers include the large plot, off-street parking, vacant possession, and proximity to several good primary schools and one outstanding secondary school, supporting rental or resale prospects after work.
This lot suits buyers experienced with auction purchases and refurbishment projects looking for a low entry price and scope to add value. If you are considering bidding, arrange survey and legal checks in advance and allow a realistic contingency for refurbishment costs and any additional auction-related expenses.
