This two-bedroom ground-floor flat occupies a Victorian mid-terrace and offers clear refurbishment potential for a cash buyer or investor. The layout includes a generous lounge, separate kitchen, bathroom/WC and two good-sized bedrooms, plus a private rear garden and garden shed. Heating is mains gas with radiators and much of the property is double glazed.
Important practical notes for buyers: the property is being sold via auction (Modern Method of Auction) with a non-refundable reservation fee and additional buyer costs. The lease has approximately 59 years remaining — this may prevent some mortgage lenders from lending and will likely require lease-extension costs or a cash purchase. There is also an average service charge and a small ground rent.
The flat is sold chain-free and sits in a sought-after Westcliff-on-Sea address close to several well-rated schools and local amenities. The building shows signs of external wear and the garden and interior will need updating, making this most suitable for someone prepared to renovate and manage repairs. Consider the auction timetable and buyer pack before bidding.
