A three-bedroom semi-detached house offered for sale by unconditional online auction — vacant and previously let for many years. The property has sealed-unit double glazing and gas-fired central heating in place, plus front and rear gardens and an outside store; these basics make it a straightforward refurbishment project rather than a demolition. A brief targeted report prepared for the seller is available in the auction legal pack.
This is a budget-priced lot for a buyer who can complete quickly and carry out updating. The interior is dated (1970s wallpaper, old carpets) and the house needs improvement and possible repairs; it is marketed as needing renovation. The guide price sits from £70,000 to £90,000 plus buyer’s administration charge and a 10% deposit on exchange — read the Special Conditions of Sale before bidding and allow funds for immediate post-auction payments.
Location advantages include Swaffham’s market-town amenities, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making the house suitable for rental or resale once refurbished. Note material factors: the area is relatively deprived with above-average crime rates, the property is ex-council stock and will require the Flagship Housing Declaration of Interest to be completed by the buyer. Auction completion is binding within 28 days, so this suits cash buyers, experienced investors or renovators prepared to move quickly.
Buyers should inspect the legal pack and the sellers’ brief report for specific repair recommendations. The house offers refurbishment potential and an affordable entry to the local market, balanced by renovation costs, buyer fees and the speed of auction purchase obligations.
