This two-bedroom split-level leasehold flat is offered at auction and sold chain free, presenting a clear renovation project for an investor or buyer comfortable with works. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and the flat benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a private garden plus communal grounds and off-street residents’ parking.
Internally the property requires comprehensive updating: dated fixtures and fittings, worn floorcoverings, and evidence of general neglect mean a full redecoration and likely services upgrade will be needed. The accommodation is compact (approximately 733 sq ft) and better suited to a modest family, first-time buyer prepared to renovate, or a buy-to-let investor seeking value-add potential.
Practical sale details are material: this is a modern-method auction sale with a 56-day completion window, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and additional buyer pack and administration charges. Buyers must complete their own due diligence; a sample damp and timber report is available but the buyer should arrange a full survey and legal checks.
Nearby schools have generally good Ofsted ratings and the property sits in a major conurbation with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The local area shows signs of deprivation and hampered neighbourhood indicators, so factor local demand and long-term rental expectations into any purchase decision.
