This vacant split-level three-bedroom flat offers immediate possession and redevelopment potential close to Mile End Park and transport links. At approximately 824 sq ft over second and third floors, the layout includes a reception room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom — a practical footprint for rental or resale after refurbishment.
The property will be sold at public auction with a guide price of £220,000. It is leasehold with about 84 years remaining on a 125-year lease (expires 12 August 2109), so lease extension will be necessary and could affect mortgageability and future value. There is a public notice/repossession recorded against the property and viewers should review the legal pack before bidding.
The block is a 1960s purpose-built, Brutalist-style development with compact rooms and standard ceiling heights. The flat shows signs of age and will need modernization — damp was noted in the living room and the interior requires updating to meet modern rental or owner-occupier expectations. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports lettings.
Location strengths include nearby Mile End Park, good primary and secondary schools with 'Good' Ofsted ratings, and quick access to Mile End and Whitechapel stations. Balance the potential uplift from refurbishment against the short lease, above-average local crime rates and wider area deprivation when considering this as an investment or first home opportunity.
