Summary - 27 EMBLETON STREET SEAHAM SR7 7NW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable BRR opportunity near schools and local amenities.
Guide price £45,000 — offered freehold and sold at auction
This vacant two-bedroom terraced house on Embleton Street is offered freehold and will be sold at auction. Priced at £45,000, the property presents a clear buy-refurbish-rent (BRR) opportunity for experienced investors willing to manage a renovation. Nearby comparable sales on the same street indicate resale potential in the area.
The house dates from the 1920s–1930s with period brickwork, UPVC windows and a small plot. Internally it is a fixer-upper: rooms are small, the living area is described as dirty and in need of cleaning, and the property requires refurbishment before occupation or letting. The lot is vacant, which simplifies access for works but means refurbishment costs and time should be budgeted.
Post-renovation rental estimates are £700–£795 pcm, giving attractive yield potential at the guide price for investors comfortable with light-to-moderate refurbishment. The area offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, and the location is near several primary schools and local amenities, which supports lettability to families and working tenants.
Buyers should note the local context: the postcode sits in a deprived area with above-average crime and small plots. The property will be sold at timed online auction, so purchasers must be prepared to proceed through auction processes and factor in any additional costs for works, compliance, or safety upgrades.
