Vacant freehold three-bed needing refurbishment, sold at public auction with garage and garden..
Vacant freehold three-bedroom semi-detached house
Sold by public auction; vacant possession on completion
Needs full modernisation throughout, renovation required
Garage, driveway and decent-sized rear garden
UPVC double glazing and gas central heating present
Solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation
EPC rating D; constructed circa 1930–1949
High local crime and very deprived wider area
This vacant freehold semi‑detached house offers three bedrooms, garage and a decent rear garden — a straightforward renovation project in need of modernisation. Built between 1930–1949, the property retains period bay windows and uPVC double glazing but has solid brick walls with no insulation and will require updating throughout. The home is sold at public auction with vacant possession and an eight‑week completion period; buyers should allow for the auction administration fee and review the legal pack beforehand.
The house suits buyers seeking a value‑led refurbishment or an investor targeting rental demand in a major conurbation. Gas central heating and an EPC rating of D mean basic services are in place, but the internal accommodation (through reception, kitchen, conservatory, three bedrooms and bathroom) totals around 1,060 sq ft and will benefit from remodelling to maximise usable space.
Buyers should factor in material negatives: the property requires full modernisation, broadband speeds are slow, the neighbourhood records high crime and the wider area is very deprived. Viewings are scheduled ahead of the auction date; as the sale is by public auction, bids will exchange contracts on the fall of the hammer and additional purchase costs are detailed in the legal pack.
