This three-bedroom mid-terraced house in Southsea has been freshly redecorated with new carpets and is ready to move into. The layout includes a generous reception room, fitted kitchen with under-stairs storage, downstairs cloakroom, rear porch and a low-maintenance rear garden with rear access. At about 850 sq ft across multiple storeys, it suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable family home or investors targeting student lets.
Important transaction details affect the purchase route: the property is being sold by Modern Method of Auction. It is subject to a reserve price and aimed at cash buyers; a 10% deposit is required and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) is payable on exchange. Buyers should budget for identity-check costs and the buyer information pack fee. If you need mortgage finance, get lender advice and inspect before bidding.
Location and running costs are strong selling points: close to shops, transport links, schools and the seafront, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council tax is described as cheap. However, the immediate area is classified as very deprived with very high crime rates and notable student communal living nearby, which will affect long‑term noise/occupancy patterns and resale considerations.
Overall this home offers immediate occupation with modest outdoor space and recent cosmetic works. It represents a practical, lower‑cost entry into Southsea or a lettable proposition for investors who understand the auction process and local market dynamics. Buyers uncomfortable with auction terms or the neighbourhood profile should take care before proceeding.
