A two-bedroom semi-detached house offering clear DIY and rental potential in L7. The property has a welcoming living room, a conservatory that adds versatile space, two first-floor bedrooms and a good-sized rear garden — all on an unusually long lease (999 years from 1978). Basic services are in place: mains gas central heating, double glazing and cavity walls with partial insulation.
The house requires renovation throughout, making it a suitable project for investors or buyers happy to refurbish. The long lease, no service charge and peppercorn ground rent reduce ongoing costs; council tax is described as very cheap. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and local crime rates are very low.
Important sale terms: the property will be offered via the Modern Method of Auction, subject to a reserve price. Successful buyers must complete within the Reservation Period (56 days), pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) and separate buyer fees apply. Prospective purchasers should inspect carefully and consult lenders before bidding; a Buyer Information Pack is available for a fee.
Location notes: the area is classed as a multicultural urban mix with pockets of high deprivation. There are several nearby primary and secondary schools (including an Outstanding-rated secondary) and local amenities such as shops, doctors and public transport. For those seeking value and willing to refurbish, this property offers a foundational canvas with straightforward running costs and fast sale timelines through auction.
