This two-bedroom freehold semi-detached house in Blackburn (BB1) is offered chain free and sold by online auction, presenting a clear redevelopment or buy-to-let opportunity. At about 664 sq ft with a rear garden, the property sits close to shops, schools and strong transport links — useful for future tenants or resale appeal. Broadband and mobile signal are good; there is no flood risk and council tax is low (Band A).
The house is neglected and will need significant cosmetic and likely structural attention: overgrown garden, storm porch and external brickwork described as unkempt, interior condition unspecified. The area has very high crime and very high deprivation indices, which will affect lettability and pricing; these factors are important for finance and insurance considerations. EPC is TBC — factor possible improvement costs.
The sale route is the Modern Method of Auction. Successful purchasers pay a non-refundable Buyer’s Premium (£6,600 incl. VAT) plus a Legal Pack fee (£396 incl. VAT), and have 56 working days to exchange/complete after draft contract receipt. The property is subject to an undisclosed reserve price and buyer due diligence on the legal pack is essential before bidding.
Suitable for experienced investors or developers who can manage refurbishment and lettings in higher-risk neighbourhoods. First-time buyers should note the auction process, additional fees, and local crime/deprivation levels before committing.
