Unconditional auction sale — substantial refurbishment required, strong investment potential..
Three bedrooms, two reception rooms, modest footprint
A three-bedroom end-terraced house offered freehold and sold vacant at unconditional public auction on 25.09.25. The property has two reception rooms, a rear kitchen and a small enclosed rear garden. Double glazing and gas central heating from a combination boiler are in place, though the boiler has not been tested.
This is a clear refurbishment project: the interior requires comprehensive modernisation and some remedial works. Room sizes are modest and the building is of traditional solid-brick construction (likely no cavity insulation). The location is convenient for Ilkeston town centre, local schools and public transport — useful for lettings or resale to first-time buyers after renovation.
Important auction and cost notes: sale is unconditional on the stated date, with a 5% deposit (minimum £5,000) and a buyer’s fee of 4.8% (minimum £6,000 inc. VAT). Buyers must read the legal pack; further special conditions or fees may apply. The surrounding area is very deprived with very high crime levels — factor this into lettings, insurance and management plans.
Suitable for experienced investors or hands-on renovators wanting a low-entry-price refurb or buy-to-let asset. The guide price reflects the work required; realistic budgeting for full refurbishment, safety checks, and possible heater servicing or replacement is essential.
