A vacant three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold and sold at national online auction. The property is compact (approx. 407 sq ft) and includes a rear yard and small front garden. It sits about a five-minute drive from Preston city centre and is close to the University of Central Lancashire and local shops.
This house is a clear renovation project: rooms show wear, damp has been noted, and the first-floor bedrooms are currently affected by pigeons — there will be no viewings prior to auction. The layout includes hall, lounge, dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom; ceiling heights are tall in places and period sash windows retain character.
Buying at auction is a legally binding commitment. The lot carries an administration fee and buyer’s premium payable on exchange; bidders should review the legal pack for additional disbursements and finance options before bidding. Investors should factor immediate refurbishment costs, pigeon remediation, and security measures given the local high-crime classification.
For the right buyer this property offers short-term lettable potential close to the university or longer-term uplift after sympathetic modernisation. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support rental demand, but expect renovation, ongoing maintenance, and upfront auction costs.
