Located on Southmead Road, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat offers straightforward accommodation and clear scope for improvement. The living room is large and bright, the kitchen benefits from a skylight and good built-in storage, and gas central heating is already installed. At roughly 602 sq ft the layout is practical but compact, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking rental income once updated.
Important practical points are upfront: the property is leasehold with about 58–59 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders refuse loans on short leases, so purchasers should confirm finance options before bidding. The sale is by the Modern Method of Auction and carries a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack charge and optional service fees; completion terms are 56 days.
The flat does need renovation and modernization throughout, which presents an opportunity to add value but will require budget and trade work. Externally the building is mid‑20th‑century with rendered/pebble-dash finishes and communal walkway access above shops. There is no private outdoor space and the neighbourhood scores high for convenience with shops, buses and local schools nearby.
For a buyer able to accept the lease and auction terms, this is a low-price entry with upside from refurbishing and renting or re-selling. If you need mortgage finance, obtain lender confirmation before committing to the auction process.
