This vacant one-bedroom apartment sits within Home Paddock House, a purpose-built retirement development in central Wetherby. The layout includes a living room, fitted kitchen, one bedroom and bathroom, and the flat benefits from a small private garden and communal landscaped grounds. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and local shops, cafés and transport links are within easy reach.
Important practical considerations affect value and finance. The lease has 59 years remaining (99 years from 1 September 1985), which many mortgage lenders consider too short and may refuse to lend. The property is leasehold with an annual service charge of £3,709.62 and ground rent of £512.06 — both recurring costs that should be reviewed in the legal pack.
This property will be sold at online auction on 30 October 2025. It is restricted to purchasers aged 60 and over and is offered vacant, so it could suit a cash buyer or a buyer who can arrange bridging finance. The apartment’s compact size (approximately 420 sq ft) makes it manageable but limits scope for reconfiguration.
Wetherby is a sought-after market town between Leeds, Harrogate and York, offering convenient road links and a range of amenities. Prospective buyers should download the legal pack, check lender acceptance for the lease length, and factor in service charges and ground rent before bidding. Block viewings are scheduled prior to auction; check the auction website to register and access full documentation.
