A vacant two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace offered freehold and sold at public auction. The property sits on a larger-than-average plot with off-street parking and a rear garden, presenting clear potential for refurbishment or redevelopment subject to obtaining planning consent.
The house needs renovation throughout: cosmetics, likely insulation upgrades (solid brick walls assumed uninsulated), and general modernisation. It has mains gas boiler and radiators, UPVC double glazing, and an EPC rating of D, but buyers should allow for further works and checks on services and structure.
Location factors are mixed. The home is in a very deprived neighbourhood with above-average crime levels and predominantly young, ethnic communities; nearby amenities and several schools are close by. For cash buyers and experienced investors, the low guide price, vacant possession, and auction sale provide an opportunity to add value or redevelop, but planning is not confirmed and the legal pack must be reviewed carefully.
