A ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Fenham offered for sale by auction. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom, with a private rear garden and a driveway to the front. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
This property will suit a cash buyer, a cash investor or a buyer able to accept short leases. The 52-year lease remaining (as at July 2025) is a material drawback: many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend, and lease extension costs should be investigated carefully prior to purchase. The successful buyer will also pay the auction administration fee of £2,400 (including VAT).
Location benefits include close public transport links to Newcastle city centre and the A1/A69 corridors, fast broadband and good mobile signal. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and day-to-day amenities are within walking distance. Note the area records above-average crime and higher relative deprivation; factor this into any letting, resale or renovation plans.
Mechanically the property appears functional but dated in places — it presents an opportunity for refurbishment to improve living standards or rental return. A mining search is recommended for the region and legal verification of lease terms, rights and obligations is essential before committing to a bid.
