Low-price, chain-free two-bed first-floor flat — auction sale, refurbishment potential.
Guide price £45,000; sold by online auction, buyer fees apply
For sale by online auction on 30th September 2025, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment on Meadow Lane is offered chain-free and at a low guide price, making it a clear prospect for buy-to-let buyers or cash investors. The flat has a spacious lounge with large windows, a fitted kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom plus separate WC, and a communal rear yard.
The property requires modernisation and shows general mid‑century wear and tear; the EPC is E and the warm-air, mains gas heating and cavity walls (assumed uninsulated) suggest scope for energy-efficiency improvements. The building dates from 1967–1975 and the double glazing fitment date is unknown — buyers should budget for upgrades and carry out surveys.
Tenure is leasehold (125 years from 1988) with a reported ground rent of £10 per year. The sale is via auction: expect buyer administration fees of £2,400 (including VAT) and standard auction terms; the guide price and reserve may change up to the auction date.
Location strengths include fast predicted broadband, excellent mobile coverage, proximity to the Metrocentre and transport links, and local amenities and schools. Material considerations are the area's high crime level and local deprivation classification; purchasers should factor these into investment or letting strategies and obtain full legal/title checks before bidding.
