A two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace offered freehold with vacant possession and an F EPC. The property is sold at online auction (Lot 100) with a guide price of £30,000 and an auction buyer’s fee payable on completion; eight-week completion or earlier.
The house requires full modernisation throughout: the kitchen/diner and first-floor wet room are without fittings, internal decoration and flooring are dated with signs of staining and mould, and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated. It retains period features, high ceilings at ground level and a small rear garden offering scope for improvement.
This is a clear refurbishment opportunity for an investor or DIY buyer. Low council tax (Band A), very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support rental or resale potential once renovated. Note the surrounding area is very deprived and classified as “renting hard-pressed workers,” which will affect achievable rents and resale values.
Buyers should allow budget for structural and services checks, a full refit of kitchen and bathroom, possible damp or mould remediation, and upgrading heating and insulation. Legal special conditions and potential completion fees are relevant to auction purchase and should be reviewed before bidding.
