A semi‑detached 1930s house offered with no onward chain, ideal for a first‑time buyer seeking value and scope. The property has a large kitchen‑diner, an expansive sun room and a mature rear garden — practical spaces for family life and entertaining. The wide front bedroom could be divided to create a three‑bed layout, unlocking better long‑term resale or rental appeal.
The lease is extremely long (c. 924 years) with a very low annual peppercorn ground rent, keeping running costs minimal. There is potential for off‑street parking by altering the front boundary and a garage adds secure storage. Good commuter links serve Romford and Hainault stations, with easy road access to the A12, A127 and M25.
Buyers should note the property needs updating and cosmetic renovation throughout; the interior and some fixtures are dated and would benefit from investment to maximise value. The EPC is F and the property is in a high flooding risk area, both important factors for lenders and insurers. This sale is via the Modern Method of Auction — prospective buyers must allow for the Reservation Fee and associated auction conditions when bidding.
Viewed as a project with strong fundamentals — generous footprint, garden, and exceptionally long lease — this house is a cost‑effective route to a three‑bed semi in the area once updated. Factor renovation costs, flood‑risk mitigation and auction fees into your budget before bidding.
