Freehold three-bed on a decent plot — auction sale ideal for investor or renovator..
Freehold three-bedroom semi-detached, approx. 1,034 sq ft
A three-bedroom semi on a generous plot with clear scope for refurbishment or investment. The property is freehold, offers 1,034 sq ft of space and mains gas central heating; the layout is traditional and ready for a full cosmetic update. Double glazing is present though install date is unknown and walls are system-built with no assumed insulation — buyers should budget for thermal upgrades and possible structural checks due to non-standard construction.
This house will be sold at auction with specific purchaser costs: a non-refundable deposit of £3,000 on exchange (conditional sale), a non-refundable reservation fee of £2,400 (does not form part of the purchase price) and a legal pack to review before bidding. The guide price is £85,000; the reserve may be up to 10% higher. The sale process and timelines are set by the auction conditions — read the legal pack carefully before bidding.
Location strengths include fast broadband, nearby shops and bus links, and several well-rated local schools (including Outstanding and Good Ofsted results), which may appeal to families or resettlement tenants. Drawbacks: the area is classified as deprived with above-average crime; the house requires updating internally (worn walls, dated fittings) and may need insulation and system checks. EPC rating D.
Suited to investors, builders or buyers seeking a project with strong upside: the plot size and three-bedroom layout provide scope to modernise for rental or resale in a major conurbation. Factor in refurbishment costs, auction fees and potential remediation for non-standard construction before committing.
