This three-bedroom terraced house in South Ockendon offers an affordable entry into the area, sold freehold and chain free. The property is a 1970s build with standard ceiling heights, an average overall size (approximately 853 sq ft) and scope for straightforward modernization to open up the living spaces.
Practical benefits include a ground-floor WC plus a family bathroom upstairs, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for homeworking and staying connected. The location is convenient: a short walk to Ockendon station, nearby bus links and local sports and community facilities. Several well-rated schools are within easy reach, including Harris Academy Ockendon (Outstanding).
Important auction terms and costs are material to any buyer. The property is offered through the Modern Method of Auction: buyers must sign a reservation agreement and pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,000 including VAT). The sale process requires completion within 56 days and involves identification checks and proof of funding.
The house needs updating — cosmetic and likely kitchen and bathroom modernisation — but presents clear potential for a first-time buyer to add value. Council tax is low, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership. Be aware of the flat roof and concrete 1970s façade when budgeting for maintenance or improvement works.
