A first-floor Edwardian maisonette offering two bedrooms, a small garden and off-street parking in Carshalton. The flat is vacant and sold at online auction with an eight-week completion target, making it suitable for a cash buyer or specialist investor.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: the EPC is grade G, interiors and exterior are dated, and the building has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation. The lease has approximately 33 years remaining (99 years from 1959), which is a material issue — many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend against this lease length.
Practical positives include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The maisonette is close to Wallington and Carshalton stations, parks and strong local schools, which supports rental or resale appeal after refurbishment.
Buyers should budget for renovation costs, potential EPC and insulation works, and factor in buyer fees and any completion charges set out in the legal pack. Vacant possession and immediate access for works are advantages for someone prepared to act quickly at auction.
