Auction opportunity for cash buyers and refurb specialists near station and park.
Vacant one-bedroom split-level flat over first and second floors
A vacant first-and-second-floor one-bedroom split-level flat offered at public auction, suitable for a cash buyer or a specialist investor prepared to refurbish. The property occupies an Edwardian/Victorian period building close to Westcliff rail station and Priory Park, providing practical transport and local amenity links.
The flat requires a full program of refurbishment: the kitchen has been removed, windows and external fabric show damage, and internal works are needed throughout. There are genuine value-add opportunities for someone able to carry out repairs and reinstate accommodation, but the property is not move-in ready.
A major material consideration is the short lease (approximately 49 years remaining). Mortgage lenders will likely refuse to lend on this flat; purchasers should budget for a lease extension premium and legal costs if they wish to secure a longer lease. The property will be sold at auction with vacant possession; buyers should consult the legal pack and seek specialist advice on lease extension and funding options.
Given the location and period character, the flat may suit a cash investor, a developer experienced in leasehold enfranchisement, or a buyer planning extensive renovation. Expect additional costs for structural and cosmetic work, and factor in the process and expense of extending the lease if long-term ownership is intended.
